Sometimes the most loving thing we can hear is not in the form of encouragement, but instead in the form of a warning. In dealing with the Pharisees, Jesus issues a warning that is really there for all of us to heed- this moment, this life, this world is temporary- we’d do well to prepare our hearts accordingly. On that day when the master returns, he will not chastise us but instead will don the clothing of a servant and care for us.
