"Much Mistaken"

 "The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, being a man, makest thyself God." (John 10:33 KJV)

  "God warned them of this in the Scriptures when he said, "I am placing a stone in Jerusalem that makes people stumble, a rock that makes them fall. But anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced."" (Romans 9:33 NLT)

 If they had only paid attention to all that was written of Him, they might have had some kind of clue that He was telling the truth. However, that was not how this story was written! They were meant to be the way that they were, because that is how it was written! "So let it be written, so let it be done!" (Yul Brynner)

 Obviously, thou they had most likely read the Text, it was not meant for them to understand all that it said. The whole point of Jesus coming as a man, was to redeem mankind from sin; only as a man, in the flesh, could He have His life taken; and only as a man, in the flesh, could He be risen to life again! 

 What is so hard to understand? Why couldn't they see the logic behind what was going on, right in front of their faces? That was not a mistake; it was God's doing! He blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts; which made them mistaken! They knew not what they were doing...

"The Jewish leaders were infuriated by Stephen's accusation, and they shook their fists at him in rage. But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed steadily into heaven and saw the glory of God, and he saw Jesus standing in the place of honor at God's right hand. And he told them, "Look, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing in the place of honor at God's right hand!" Then they put their hands over their ears and began shouting. They rushed at him and dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. His accusers took off their coats and laid them at the feet of a young man named Saul. As they stoned him, Stephen prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." He fell of his knees, shouting, "Lord, don't charge them with this sin!" And with that, he died." (Acts 7:54-60 NLT)
