Jesus never influenced people by mocking those who were broken, immature, blind and ignorant. Pride mocks; be it religious pride or rebellious pride. It influences its position through the cutting down of others.
There is a more mature way. The heart of Jesus reveals the wisdom of 'mature Perfect Love'. There is no shifting shadows in Perfect Love. For the true believer, light comes into our darkened mindsets and begins to expose our dark shifty ways. Those who lack the comfort and confidence of knowing mature love will attempt to control out of insecurity and pride, which merely means that they need to grow more in True Love.
Jesus lovingly reveals to the broken, the blind, the lame, the lost and the dying.
The ones Jesus was harsh with, and even this was out of love, were those shepherds, teachers and leaders, those who should have known His heart, but missed it in their 'representing' of Him. Jesus is sincere, mature, perfect, 'True Love.'
[Troi Nelson Cockayne]
Ephesians 3:18-19 … May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. ❤
