The indifferent and Christ neglecting Religious Leaders.
They lived in the presence of God. They saw all day long the symbols and pictures of salvation. They held the Holy revelation of God's Word. They sang each day from the Psalms. They recited, memorized, and discussed the Word of the Lord. They wore the clothing that reminded them in every way of God. They only held God's Word in their hands - not in their hearts. God was only near in their mouths – and not in their hearts.
What a sobering warning for us this Christmas these Priests & Scribes can be. All that exposure to God ended up only in their head, not in their hearts. They did not choose to let those truths invade and take over their hearts and wills. The spiritual skin of their lives, overexposed to the Light of God's truth, had developed the deadliest cancer of all – spiritual indifference.
They cared not for God. They loved not the Lord. They longed not to know and worship Him.
