What's Your Wag Look Like?

# 744- Today's Du-votional comes from: Mr 15:29 And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, "Aha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, To blaspheme means to speak against God, or anything pertaining to God, in anger or derision. When you think about it, this simple statement from Scripture is further proof of the deity of Jesus. If Jesus were not God, this mockery would just be mockery, but the Holy Spirit uses the term “blasphemy.” These words and actions then were not just directed toward a mere man or great prophet, but they were directed against God Himself. The “wagging of their heads” is the same wagging you and I might do to answer someone vehemently in the negative. This negative nodding was their reaction to the sign above Jesus on the cross. In nodding, they were emphatically denying that Jesus is “The KING OF THE JEWS. This Nazarene was no king of theirs! This is the unforgivable sin of the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit had brought this truth to them through Pontius Pilate, the pawn of God, but they rejected it. Anyone who rejects Jesus as their King commits the same damnable sin. I want you to pause and reflect on the following: If your life were to be described right now by the wagging of your head to the proclamation that Jesus is King, what would your wag look like? Would it be a vigorous shaking of the head in the affirmative? Would it be a defiant shaking of the head in the negative? Or would it be a shrug of indifference? Only one answer opens the gate to Paradise. Indifference to this proclamation puts you in the same camp as the blasphemers, for Jesus has said this about being neutral. "So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. (Rev 3:16)
