We were told that "Honesty is the best policy". However, wisdom tells us that there is a right time, place, and people to tell the truth. While we don‘t tell lies, we must also know when to keep quiet. Because people may not want to hear the truth. Jesus was killed because he could not deny the truth that He is the Son of God. It shows us the evil in the hearts of the religious leaders then.
Lessons:
- When a person's mind is made up, any evidence to invalidate his belief would be rejected. He only wants to see the evidence that supports his belief, the rest is excluded. --- confirmation bias.
- Jesus was killed because He told the truth that He is the Son of God, the Messiah.
- In a world with evils, truth is not necessarily welcome and accepted. In fact, those who tell it are likely to be persecuted.
- Jesus was mocked & killed
- Be wise, choose the right time, place, and people to tell the truth. If not, it is better to keep quiet. Know how to protect yourself.
- Matthew 7:6:"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and rend you."
