"Bring them here and slay them before me." ... Jesus' words in today's Gospel. Probably the LEAST quoted words of Scripture, haha.
But yeah, that's the Jesus we like; the one we can't seem to wait for. We hope in God and know that at the end of the world there will be justice. Sometimes we'd like to have some of that justice NOW. "Bad People" should be slain!
However, this passage doesn't refer to this life, but the next. And the hard message today is that Jesus will not judge us by what we HAVE, but on how we have responded to what he has given us...
