15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased, 16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? (Matthew 21:15-16).
This scripture depicts the scene immediately after Christ’s entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. The chief priest and scribes who were the religious leaders of Israel were against Christ. They let religion get in the way of true faith. They were knowledgeable but utterly spiritually blind. The children praised Christ while the religious leaders did not praise Him and in fact wanted to destroy Him. Remember our faith is in a person, the person of Christ, who is fullness of God and Man. Our faith is not in a religion or a set of rules but rather is in Christ-crucified on our behalf, begotten not made, one in being with the Father.
