Jealousy and Envy

Have you ever become jealous or envious? Envy will change your attitude unless you keep it in control.

Prior to Jesus' crucifixion, the high priests were envious of Him. Wherever He went, His reputation followed Him. He even claimed to be king of the Jews (Mt. 27:11). For this reason, the high priests were afraid the Romans would take away the power they had over the Jews (John 11:45-48). Because of their envy, the high priests were the first ones at Jesus trial to encourage His crucifixion.

Yes, envy can develop into a driving force that can kill and destroy. It's really something that needs to be kept in control at all times.
