1. The Pharisees and Lawyers heard the counsel of God as the rest did.
2. He saw the confirmation as the rest did. Knew about John and Zacharias. Knew the prophecies.
3. Yet they rejected God’s counsel. Wouldn’t obey.
4. Their sins needed remission like the rest. Wouldn’t accept God’s remedy.
5. Don’t reject the counsel of God.
DISCUSSION:Don’t reject the counsel of God because…
I. THE WAY OF MAN IS INSUFFICIENT.
1. Jer. 10:23, way of man not in himself.
2. Prov. 14:12, ways of death.
II. THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE TO GO
1. John 6:68, to whom shall we go?
2. Heb. 10:26, no more sacrifice for sins.
III. THE PENALTY IS SEVERE
1. Rom. 11:22, goodness and severity of God.
2. Heb. 10:26-31.
CONCLUSION:Don’t reject the counsel of God
