Episode 984 Show Notes

From the Show

Oftentimes the judgments we make are wrong. In Jesus’s time, people looked at the religious leaders, the scribes and the Pharisees, and they thought, “They have this direct line to God, there will be a special place for them in heaven,” and Jesus says, “they will be cast out into darkness. And you know who is entering the kingdom of heaven before them? Tax collectors and prostitutes.”

–Adriel Sanchez
