Who is Seeking to Kill You?
20 The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?” 21 Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel at it. 22 Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man’s whole body well? 24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”

Who is seeking to kill you?
The devil and the world are seeking to kill you. They are seeking the destruction of your faith. They desire your relationship with God to be undone. Jesus comes with the truth. His Word is performative. He is the very Word that is crucified so that you would not die. It is by Jesus’ death on the cross and his resurrection that you are made well. The Lord nourishes and feeds, grants rest and strength, and dresses you in righteousness by his Word and Sacraments. It undoes the attack of the devil and the world. It drowns the old sinful nature and it makes you alive in Christ.
