41-44. Present Sins Fix Guilt
—The generation that Jesus de-
nounced was not responsible for the sins of their fathers, only so
far as they followed their evil practices, and thus made themselves
accountable for their course of hatred and revenge in persecuting the
ancient messengers of God. It was the present mercies and warnings
which that generation were rejecting that fastened upon them guilt
which the blood of bulls and goats could not wash away. Proud, self-
righteous, and independent, they had separated farther and farther
from heaven until they had become willing subjects of Satan. The
Jewish nation for centuries had been forging the fetters which that
generation were irrevocably fastening upon themselves. (
