Don't Play In My Face // Human - ology Part. 3 // Dr. Dharius Daniels

Am I making sense? He's saying you need to have enough temperance and self control to act and not react when you're insulted, when you're exploited, and when people are trying to take advantage of you. Because when you do that, you put yourself in position where you are deserving of the same justice you want me to enact on your behalf and being ready to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. So he says, you want me to handle that's that's Paul guys. He said, you you want me to handle their disobedience. But because you hadn't fulfilled your obedience, they disobedient in one area, but you took the bait. So you became disobedient. So now if I gotta get them, I gotta get you too.

He had a heart that was pure because he had a heart that was empty. And some of us cannot have a pure heart because we do not have a empty heart because you don't trust the father to be able to handle the authenticity of your humanity. David wants justice. So the need to be protected, the need to not be deceived, the need to want justice is human. The question is, where will you take the need? Will you try to protect yourself? Will you try to expose others? And will you try to take justice into your own hands? Because when you do that, you've exchanged seats. [00:25:53] (61 seconds)  #PureHeartJourney

This is exactly what Jesus does. It's what I call a holy disruption. Yeah. It is it's not emotional. It's intentional. Yeah. It is a holy dis are y'all okay? Yeah. It it is a holy disruption, and a holy disruption is disrupting an environment that is less than God's best. It is disrupting that which is inferior so you can step into that which is superior. Jesus being a man of truth is not gonna sit at the table and say we all sit here kikiing, and we know there's something we need to talk about. Come on here. Come on here. He's saying, we are celebrating Passover where God delivered us from our enemies, and I'm not gonna sit at the table and act like Judas is not about to deliver me into my enemies.

Jesus here is speaking in a way that is consistent with what we see throughout the pages of scripture, hyperbole. He says, if your eye offends you, pluck it out. Does he literally mean to gouge out your eyes? He says if your hand offends you, what? Does he literally want you and I to cut off our hand? He's speaking to something larger here. Am I making sense? What he is what he is pointing to even in this passage here on the beatitudes, he is pointing to the spiritual fruit of temperance, which is self control. He is so he's using hyperbole to say, don't you allow their dysfunction to pull you into dysfunctional reactions. [00:31:12] (54 seconds)  #TemperanceMatters
