"the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's" - Jesus Surrounded by Enemies Worse than Coronaviruses

Jesus Surrounded by Enemies Worse than Coronaviruses

Not all the actions Christ Jesus did in His everyday life are recorded in the Gospels.  Not all the words Christ Jesus spoke are recorded in the Gospels.  And, not all the attacks Satan made to Christ Jesus are also recorded. 

Christ Jesus described in the Gospels was just walking, giving insight of life and the world, preaching about love of the God, teaching how to pray to the God, praying to the God, healing the sick, showing compassion to the poor, and fighting Satan.

He never relished a joke, enjoyed His meal, and talked about foods, clothes, places to rest, rumors about certain people, gossips and small talks, how to gain money and even what He was truly.  And, more importantly Christ Jesus never talked about His family.

So, we might be allowed to wonder what He was doing and what He was thinking in His everyday life.

First of all, Christ Jesus knew that He was under attack by Satan, its devils, the Jewish authority, opposite priests of Judaism, and people brainwashed by Satan.  He must have been aware that spies and betrayers were everywhere, so that He must have been mostly silent.

On the other hand, what were the enemies of Christ Jesus doing except sending spies and betrayers around Him?  Christ Jesus was regarded as an enemy of the Jewish authority, Jewish priests, and Roman troops occupying Israel at the time.  They must have checked His family backgrounds, professional relationships, friends, and enemies.  They must have tried to buy or bribe some of His families, friends, and followers without mentioning Judas of Iscariot.

The consequences of their efforts against Christ Jesus might be even today seen among Jewish people.  And it should be reflected on the Gospels, so that people who became opposite to Christ Jesus due to Satan's efforts were omitted in the Gospels except Judas of Iscariot, etc.  In this context, it is assumed that Christ Jesus was betrayed by more people, including His families, friends, etc., than those described in the Gospels.  The Gospels should depict Christ Jesus narrowly avoiding attacks from everywhere in His human relationships, although they presented Christ Jesus peacefully and safely walking, talking, and preaching.  Christ Jesus was in the middle of battles with enemies sent by Satan.  

Therefore, we may understand why the Gospels do not describe Christ Jesus joking, laughing, and relaxing.  And there is no wonder if most of His families, personal friends, business associates, etc. sold out Him, so that there are no detailed descriptions about them in the Gospels.  

For example, even if Christ Jesus had had a wife or a girl friend, she might have sold Him, so that we may be allowed to think that there are no descriptions of Jesus' wife or girl friend as a result.  And that may be why there are no detailed descriptions of His physical father, brothers, sisters, and cousins and nieces except John the Baptist.  And in this case, compared with those hidden betrayers, the sin of Judas might be lighter.       

Put simply, the Gospels do not report how Christ Jesus was daily harassed, annoyed, and afflicted by evil people brainwashed and used by Satan as its subordinates for attacking Christ Jesus.   And those evil people might include His family members, friends, etc. whom the Gospels do not describe.

In this context, 50% of people who were close to Christ Jesus or who encountered with Christ Jesus might have been brainwashed and used by Satan as its subordinates for attacking Christ Jesus.  Enemies of Christ Jesus must be everywhere.  Christ Jesus must have been living all the time in circumstances surrounded by enemies worse than corona-viruses.  

But, the Gospels are presenting Christ Jesus as if He had been living in peace time for a certain care, so that even children can read the Bible.  We should not think that Christ Jesus preached in a leisurely setting and in an easy state.  He must have been always aware that Satan was waiting for its chance to harm or kill Him.  So, there must be more secrets in the Gospels yet uncovered.

1 Corinthians 3, King James Version
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;
23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
