Dear Brother Josephat.
According to the Urantia Book, Jesus was received by the people of Jerusalem with a mix of curiosity, admiration, and skepticism. Many were drawn to his teachings, miracles, and compassionate nature, but others remained skeptical of his claims and doubted his authority.
In terms of Jewish political attitudes, there were varying opinions about Jesus and his message. Some saw him as a potential messianic figure who could free them from political oppression, while others viewed him as a threat to the established religious and political order. The religious leaders of the time, particularly the Pharisees and Sadducees, were often hostile towards Jesus and his teachings, perceiving him as a disruptor to their authority and teachings.
In the temple, Jesus and his apostles taught a message centered around the kingdom of God, the importance of love, forgiveness, and spiritual transformation. The reception of this message varied among the people. Some were deeply moved by Jesus' teachings and found solace and guidance in his words, while others were resistant or did not fully comprehend the depth of his message. Ultimately, Jesus' message and the impact he had on individuals varied depending on their openness to his teachings and their own spiritual receptivity.
