5. Meeting Opposition
Follow Christ’s example. Be used a different procedure with the common people than H~ did with the Scribes and Pharisees.
a. With the common people He wee over gentle and patient; He never condemned them, but kindly painted out the way of salvation.
b. It was another story with the Scribes and rulers; they were not ignorant of the Saviour’s work and mission and their questions were for the most part merely traps. With them Christ was plain and even cutting at times. Rather than answering their “trap” questions He first gave them a question to answer. His ministers are to do likewise.
If you perceive that one is asking you a “trap” question, before you answer his question, first give him a question on some point that is irrefutable.
Don’t be discourteous, but neither let them make you appear foolish.
In dealing with those who are opposed, and especially the ministers, hold them to one point; don’t let them jump around. Familiarize yourself with a few pertinent references and if they can’t see light in one or at the most two, don’t waste your time with them.
Examples: Jer. 30:1—3 (or one of many other definite and specific references on the Kingdom)
Isa. 66:15—21
