Life will go on, if everyone cannot agree with you. He had a rendezvous with destiny, just as everyone of us has. Jesus had to learn how to handle rejection, and his example is the very best source for us today. This is an essential skill for living today. You must be able to hold to your own beliefs, even when others may attack them.
Many people try to remove the controversy by making their critics happy.
You ll note, I hope, in this passage that Jesus did not resort to that. He had insulted their pride. Why, good ministry and preaching will seek to attack your pride and correct faults. So these people decided that they would best get rid of the problem. You have to know that the heart of unbelief desires to run Jesus off the cliff today.
