What's Their Motive?

Good morning and happy Monday. So what do you think the Pharisee was trying to do with Jesus when he asked Him to dinner at his house in Luke 11:37? I love the message there about the inside of us all, but for another angle, I wanna look at the motive. That's what we deal a lot with today. People testing our metal. Trying to set us up to fall. The Pharisee wanted to catch Jesus saying or doing something they could use against Him. Jesus was upsetting their sweet little apple cart and they wanted Him gone. When we are the Christians we should be, we upset the apple cart Satan has going with someone else too. They want to see you crumble under pressure, fold up your good ways and give in to the world. They will wait and watch for as long as it takes for you to slip, and then bam they gotcha. But we know that's not the whole story. We have found forgiveness in the Lord and that we can all be restored. Even those trying to do us harm. So don't let a little devil keep you from doing what you know needs to be done and living the best you can and relying on God the Father to have your back through it all. In love always. <><
