Recently i tweeted:
"Now is a good time to stop turning the Love Language of Jesus in N.T.
into
demonic threats about our performance ------
*He is our Betrothed Husband and He Loves
Us (far above human love)*"
If you find a N.T. scripture that threatens your New Nature,
you are experiencing it from the indoctrination of your dead nature.
Jesus is Absolutely Good and His Cascading Love never gives up on us.
Our wedding is a certainty, it is on!, no matter what you think about your performance.
Love and Trust Jesus, He is always more than you have been thinking.
Here are some affirming understandings from Steve Thompson:
When Jesus corrected his followers, he did it with non threatening body language.
Look at the use of the word "turned" in M16:23 and L9:55 .
"Peter took Jesus and rebuked Him."
(easy to picture the rebuker taking someone by the shoulders, yes?)
"But Jesus turned, and said to Peter ..."
He turned His back to Peter so the condemnation
was not aimed at Peter but the devil spirit.
Similarly in the James and John (sons of thunder) interaction.
The amped up performance before Jesus, "We'll call down fire".
"But Jesus turned, and rebuked them,
"You know not what manner of spirit you are of,
I am an enlivener not a destroyer"
[[even during the bad competitive argument of "who shall be greatest"
Jesus turns His attention to the little children.]]
Jesus would not allow His Face to be associated with any condemnation.
[[Jesus is happy with anything you realise in Him.]]
