The Uncharitable Jesus

Rick Phillips
I have been preaching through the Gospel of John for the last couple of years, and this Sunday I complete John chapter 10.  This also concludes my study of the long confrontation between Jesus and the false teachers of Israel that runs from John 8:13-10:39.  While studying this portion of Scripture, I have often thought of some of the debates raging in the Reformed world today and the frequent call for charity towards opposing doctrines.  Well, charity is not a word you would use to describe Jesus' attitude towards the false teachers of Israel!  Scornful would be more accurate.
