See, I think what he's saying is what you thought has been spiritual prosperity, it's really not, and I'm not pleased with this. So he's calling them out on it. But then what's interesting is he gives an explanation as to why he gives a correction. Look what he says in verse 19. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. So what is he saying? He said, look. I I discipline you because I love you. I love you, and then he exhorts them. He said, you can repent. You can be restored. So you need to understand, he wasn't rebuking them just to be mean. He wasn't rebuking them because he was mad. He wasn't you don't hate them. You're disciplining them because you love them, because you care about them. That's what Jesus is doing here. But then he gives an invitation to show that love. Look what it says in verse 20.
