When he sent out disciples in groups of two what did he say to do if the people reject his teachings?
Does he say to be tolerant and accepting of them?
Matthew 15:13-14 English Standard Version (ESV)
He answered, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up. Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
Did Jesus hang out and call people names day in and out? There may have been a few
times He did rebuke those against Him, but He spent His time reaching out to the lost. Of
course there are those against Him, the whole world is against God and rejects Him.
That however is where the sinners are, who He died for, don't forget that, His love for us
while we were yet sinners, is what it is really all about. Anyone can condemn a sinner,
anyone can call another names, find faults we all have them! It is Jesus' grace and mercy
that separates sinners from the dark world, that pulls us out of this evil place and gives
us hope. Are you all about condemnation or sharing the blood of Jesus to a dark and
fallen world?
