I found this on FB: It shows a meme of Christ, with the caption: " “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?"
The caption of the meme states:
"Christians often wonder why we have so little influence on modern culture.
The modern church frequently treats “Christlike” as simply being nice and non-offensive. It quotes the patience and kindness verses while quietly setting aside the parts where Jesus calls religious leaders a brood of vipers, clears the temple, and warns about hell. This selective teaching produces a version of Jesus who never confronts error—and a church that no longer knows how.
We need to get back to basics. Jesus set the moral high ground. We are called to live it and, when necessary, to call out immoral behavior. That is not judging, it is teaching the Word of God. Millions are on a spiritual twelve-lane interstate, heading ninety miles an hour toward Hell, and almost no one is telling them."
One person answered with:
"Remember - that was to the religious. Jesus didn’t speak that way to the unregenerate"
