Summary
And yet, in addressing the Pharisees and the scribes, in Matthew the 23rd chapter, our Lord himself says, you blind and poof in math in Psalm 53, it says, fools say in their hearts, there is no God. So as we continue our series today on hard saying, as we look at this hard saying of our Lord, and as we hear in Scripture on the one hand, Jesus says, if you call someone a fool, you're liable to the hell of fire, but he himself called people, fools. And Jesus says that kind of murder, you're liable to judgment, or you can translate it, you're liable to the civil court. So Jesus says, you slander someone, you derides someone, you murder someone in that way, you're liable to the court. But what did Jesus say in the 23rd chapter of Matthew, he says, whoa to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you're like white wash tombs, which on the outside look beautiful, but inside, they're full of bones of the dead and of all kinds of filth. Though shall not murder, I didn't murder, I've kept the law and Jesus says, but I say to you, if you're angry with a brother or sister, you'll be liable to judgment.
