“They that sit in the gate speak against Me; and I was the song of the drunkards” (Psalm 69:12).
The men that sat in the gate were the leaders — the government of the city. They were the important people; they sat in the place where decisions were made, and judgments were carried out. The drunkards were the lower class of people who wasted their time, drank alcohol and caused trouble. But when it came to liking or disliking the Lord Jesus, all of them agreed together; they did not want Him.
Often in human society at least one class of people will like a particular person, even if others do not. But all of society wanted to get rid of the Lord Jesus. We find out why in John 7:7 — “The world cannot hate you; but Me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.” Everyone hated the Lord Jesus because He told them that they were sinners before God and needed a Savior. Do you know the Lord Jesus as your Savior?
