"But they were the more fierce, saying, 'He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.' When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked if the Man were a Galilean. And as soon as he knew that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time."
Luke 23:5-7
Jesus certainly did stir up many people – either to hate Him or to love Him. But still, I'm sure there were many people in Israel who were apathetic – who couldn't have cared less about this itinerant preacher. Oh, that people in America would be stirred up by the Gospel. Yes, may my heart be stirred afresh today!
My heart is stirred whene'er I think of Jesus –
That blessed name that sets the captive free.
The only name through which I find salvation.
No other name has meant so much to me.
Today's Thought: Jesus and the Gospel stir the heart.
Have a stirred up day. Love you.
