In thi episode i will be discusing the character of Jesus and his compassion for usRemember when Jesus calls the Pharisees a “brood of vipers” (Matthew 12:34)? Ouch. Harsh words. The Pharisees had great religious influence — wouldn’t it have been a better strategy to tone it down a bit? But Jesus speaks the truth without fear of repercussions. He’s concerned with sharing his message, not gaining political support.
