Truth is a dangerous thing.  Truth threatens the way that we live, it threatens our comfort, it threatens what we want to believe.  Therefore, we have two basic choices for how we respond to truth—we can accept it and change ourselves, or ignore it and try to change everything else.  One path is difficult but filled with grace, the other is easy but wholly inauthentic.  The Pharisees, when confronted with an uncomfortable truth in Jesus, chose the easy route; perhaps their example can encourage us to choose the other.
