If Jesus had entered into one of our modern cities, He would have been arrested immediately. He would be a wanted man by the:

EPA for killing fig trees;

AMA for practicing medicine without a license;

HEW for asking people to open graves and for raising the dead;

FDA for feeding thousands of people in the wilderness without a food permit;

NEA for teaching without a certificate;

OSHA for walking on water without a lifejacket;

PETA for driving pigs into the sea;

PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION for giving advice on how to live with peace of mind and freedom from guilt;

NOW for not choosing a woman apostle;

ABORTION ADVOCATES for saying that whoever harms children, it would be better if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were drowned;

ZONING DEPARTMENT for building mansions without a permit;

HUMAN RELIGIONS & DENOMINATIONS for saying He would build His church and for condemning vain worship.

Jesus would be a wanted man today. Well let me tell you, He was a wanted man on this day 2000 years ago. While the crowd was praising Him, the religious leaders of the day were plotting to kill Him (Lk. 19:47-38; 47-48).
