Quiet Time Notes

The Narrowness of Jesus (part II)

There was limited range of things Jesus approved

There were some things he could praise and others he was obliged to condemn

Jesus did not wear a univerisal smile

He made distinctions and he taught others to make them too

Jesus' estimate was the product of a servere discriminiation

With his eyes which could see be men's hearts, he judged with fearlessness

Example: Jesus driving out those in the temple would turned it into a marketplace
Jesus did not minimize the heinousness of sin by treating all men alike

Jesus refused to let men doing bad things feel that they were doing good

It is in his habit of drawing distinctions and setting boundaries
