Much of Jesus' ministry was carried out under the watchful eye of the
Pharisees. The controversy with the Pharisees was intensifying (2, 14).
The Pharisees were out to get Jesus. For all their religion, they had no
time for Jesus. Still, there are the critics, those who try to
undermine our faith in Christ, those who attempt to draw us away from
serving Christ. We must remain resolute in our faith, believing what God
says concerning His Son: 'Here is my Servant whom I have chosen, the
One I love, in whom I delight' (18; 3:17; 17:5). As we read of Jesus,
the chosen Servant of God, loved by the Father and bringing delight to
the Father's heart, we should give thanks for all that God has done for
us in Christ (Ephesians 1: 4-6), and we should commit ourselves afresh
to the service of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:58)
