Psalm 35:21
21 Yea, they opened their mouth [peh] wide [rachab] against me, and said ['amar], Aha [heach], aha [heach], our eye [`ayin] hath seen [ra'ah] it. KJV-Interlinear
21
They open wide their mouths against me; they say, “Aha, Aha! Our eyes have seen
it!” ESV
Gloating deceivers,
boasters, they who wink the eye, hate without cause, make fun, presume they are
the wiser.
And this is what they did
against Jesus, who is the Christ, the unique God/man of all that is,
omniscient, omnipotent, sovereign over all that exists, creator of all that
exists. And here are people, who know
virtually nothing by comparison, have done nothing by comparison, having
phenomenal limitations as is the nature of humanity, making fun of Jesus.
Aha, we have seen your
fall from grace, your downfall. Once the
speaker to large crowds, a doer of miracles, and now a convicted criminal. And so the mocking goes.
But that nonsense is not
unique to those days of long ago, it still exists even today, where most of the
world ignores Jesus altogether, and most Christians, do not take His mandates
seriously, having more important things to do with their time.
And yet, it is the Bible
that is the mind of Christ, and to learn Christ you have to learn the Bible,
which seems to be the biggest barrier in the minds of most believers,
unfortunately.
Simply looking at
history, one should know that we are not here for a very long time. That our time begins and our time ends, and
then we are faced with eternity. This
world is the training ground and the Bible is the training manual, to prepare
us for eternity. But who bothers?
And so it goes. Some mocked by means of verbal comment, while
others mock by means of indifference.
What is the difference?
