Luke 19:15

"But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’"

Key Reflection

This verse illustrates the rejection of authority and leadership that often comes with true service and righteousness. The citizens' hatred reflects a preference for self-rule over submission to God's will, even when offered genuine benefits.
