Les Feldick Bible Study

Why did people accuse Jesus of being a demon after He desecrated the Sabbath?

Religion had blinded them to the point that they accused Jesus of being a demon because He had desecrated the Sabbath. Their spiritual blindness kept them from understanding the finished work of the cross, so they misjudged His actions and failed to recognize what God was doing.

Les explains that the accusation came from religious blindness. Religion had blinded them to the place where they accused Jesus of being a demon because He had desecrated the Sabbath. This fits the unfolding of the eight signs, where each sign advances on a previous sign. Les does not go into all the details but emphasizes the finished work of the cross and that we can do nothing.
