Keller the Goat

James Keller the prosecutor in our case seems like an intelligent young man who probably had a promising career. Unfortunately he has made the most unwise career choice possible when lining up with unrighteousness. In the Passover ceremony everyone is familiar with the Passover Lamb but few know that there was also a goat. The goat became a colloquialism in the term scapegoat. The scapegoat had the function of symbolizing the sins being cast away. The priest would lay hands upon this animal as transference of the sins of the people for that year and then have the animal cast away from the city to the wilderness. In the New Testament we get this picture of having our sins cast as far as the east is from the west. As this trial winds down and God's ultimate plan of victory is executed these evil men with their false righteousness will look for a scapegoat to lay their hands upon as transference of their sins and to have him cast far away so that they remember their sins no more. I'm afraid I already see this scenario developing for the rookie prosecutor. If he were wise he would seek the Lord while He may be found and look for a glorious exit. He has shown no signs of wisdom as of yet but we would still be kind to keep this man in our prayers so that the evil that is intended for him may not come upon him. Do you remember how children used to do these things in their petty squabbles? Well that is exactly what it is like dealing with these immature grown men. When they reason as children they will behave as children and Keller will be the target. If he remains blind to this inevitable event I put this on the record as a hope to him that the Lord does grant wisdom to those who seek Him and has proven it by telling you in advance what you are precluded from seeing in your rebellion.
