Every day he was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him. 

Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭19‬:‭47‬-‭48‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Jesus’ teaching was captivating. 

It illustrated a God who reaches down to his people. 

No longer was it necessary for us to plead up to the skies to experience heaven. 

God was with them. 

God is with us. 

The freedom from binding laws, freedom to enjoy a personal relationship, freedom from sin not dependent upon our own works, Jesus was refreshing, releasing, and radical. 

What was captivating then is captivating now. 

They hung on his words and in doing so they erected a spiritual block against the naysayers who wanted to kill him over the very words spoken that enraptured his believers. 

All scripture is God-breathed and worthy of getting hung up on.
