THINK WITH ME FOR A MINUTE: If you are telling me that people should LOVE, FORGIVE and FORGET, and that being QUIET, SHUTTING YOUR MOUTH is how you really show that you “LOVE, FORGIVE and FORGET” - - Then how will you explain Jesus’ actions, taking note, that Jesus is full of love and compassion for the people:
1. He called the Pharisees: “You brood of vipers!” (Matt 12:34) 2. He warned his disciples of the leaven of the Pharisees (Matthew 16:6) 3. He made a whip and drove away the vendors outside the Temple, overturned the tables of the money changers, and shouted at how they are desecrating the Temple of his Father (John 2) Ever thought of the fact that the Pharisees, the vendors HATED Jesus for saying and doing those things to them? They were 101% not happy and pleased by Jesus’s actions and words, they even called Jesus a “VIOLENT MAN”
But, come and reason with me- Was Jesus ANGRY? Was Jesus BITTER? Does Jesus have no forgiveness and love in His heart?
“When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” (Matthew 9:36)
Again, If you are telling me that SHUTTING UP and staying QUIET, is the right thing to do, and that it is the right way of showing your LOVE, FORGIVENESS, MERCY and COMPASSION, then you are like telling me that WHAT JESUS DID WAS WRONG and what Jesus did was out of anger and bitterness.
I’d rather FOLLOW JESUS, than follow people, I rather please God than people. Those people who believe those “superficial” love and forgiveness stuff, only revealed that they don’t know Jesus personally, and doesn’t have a true relationship with Him. They may claim that they know God by their words, but their hearts and actions speak the other way.
