Luke 23-24

Chapter 23, verses 4 and 5

"Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, "I find no basis for a charge against this man." But they insisted, "He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here." 

He stirs up the people. But is that a bad thing? 

When people are so set in their ways, they need to be stirred. It's like you are cooking something in a frying pan. If cooked well, it will be amazingly delicious, better than the ingredients alone. But sometimes you need to stir. If you don't the bottom will burn and the top will not cook.

Today we did a Bible study of 2 Chronicles 34-35 about King Josiah. Enthroned at age 8. Seeking the Lord by age 16. Turning the country upside down by 20, destroying idols, and preaching the Law of Moses by 26 and seeing the whole country turn from the 60 years of evil to God, committing their lives.

I think the world we live in now needs some stirring.

When they insist "He has come all the way here" I doubt they realized how much further He was going to go.

"you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8)
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations ... and surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Matt 19-20)

Later in Thesalonica when Paul and Silas are there the Jews say “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also" (Acts 17:6)

If the world is upside down to begin with, you wouldn't know any better, but if it is so then flipping it can only be good. And God can use young adults, in fact, often chooses to.
