It is the same today. Fifth, the One who exposed and denounced sin. This explains why Christ was not wanted here. He was a constant thorn in their sides. His holiness condemned their unholiness.
Men wish to go their own way, to please themselves, to gratify their lusts.
They want to be comfortable in their wickedness, therefore they resent that which searches the heart, pierces the conscience, rebukes their evil. Christ was absolutely uncompromising. He would not wink at wrongdoing, but unsparingly denounced it, in whomever He found it. His person and preaching tested everything and everyone with whom He came into contact. First, because He required inward purity.
