The Uncharitable Jesus
December 16, 2006
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.
