Today’s Gospel holds a powerful lesson in peace and justice. It was clear that the Pharisees were after Jesus. The death of Jesus was all that would satisfy them. Jesus had many, many followers. He could have pulled his followers together and confronted the Pharisees. Instead, we get a lesson in humility, and peace. Jesus calmly walked away from trouble. Jesus went about healing people. He continued to proclaim the word of the Father to his followers, and non-believers alike. Isaiah illustrates peace and gentleness beautifully in his words.
