2. Table-Turning Fury: When Jesus Got Angry (Matthew 21:12-13)
Watch out! Jesus cleansed the temple, unleashing righteous anger against corruption. This wasn’t just a scene; it was a serious wake-up call about true worship.

3. The Narrow Path: A Dangerous Journey Ahead (Matthew 7:13-14)
Jesus warned that the road to life is narrow and tough. Are you prepared to take the hard path, or are you following the crowd?

4. Love Your Enemies: The Ultimate Test of Faith (Matthew 5:44)
Jesus commanded us to love our enemies. This isn’t just a nice idea—it’s a radical lifestyle that challenges everything you think you know about love.

5. The Sheep and the Goats: Who Will Stand With You? (Matthew 25:31-46)
Jesus taught that how we treat the least among us determines our eternal fate. Are you living out His call to serve the marginalized, or are you turning a blind eye? Let’s make it plain as the sun for the loudly self-righteousness bunch trying to destroy YOUR path into peace.

6. Rich Young Ruler: The Price of Discipleship (Mark 10:17-27)
When asked about eternal life, Jesus told him to sell everything. Are you ready to give up your comfort for a greater calling, or is materialism holding you back?

7. The Last Supper: A Sacred Reminder (Luke 22:19-20)
Jesus initiated communion, urging His followers to remember Him. Are you truly reflecting on His sacrifice, or has it become just another ritual?

8. The Great Commission: A Call to Action (Matthew 28:19-20)
Jesus commanded us to make disciples of all nations. This isn’t a suggestion; it’s a mission. Are you answering the call, or are you sitting on the sidelines?

9. The Woman at the Well: Breaking Barriers (John 4:1-26)
Jesus engaged with a Samaritan woman, shattering social norms. Are you willing to cross boundaries to reach those who feel far from God?

10. Resurrection Reality: The Heart of Our Faith (Matthew 28:1-10)
Jesus rose from the dead, claiming victory over death. This is the cornerstone of Christianity—are you living in light of this truth, or is it just a story to you?

Conclusion: Are You Taking Jesus Seriously?

These moments show that #JesusWasntJoking about the radical, life-altering truths He presented. Each teaching calls us to reflect deeply on our faith and actions. Are we embracing His message, or are we getting lost in the noise of modern Christianity? The choice is yours—what will you do with these shocking truths?

One last point.

Biola’s article, “Where Did the Poor Go?: Who Are the Least of These in Matthew?” By Jeannine Brown asks, “Who was Jesus referring to when he spoke of “the least of these”?”

And offers two interpretations:

“The exclusive interpretation understands “the least” to be Christians because of the full phrase used in Matthew 25:40: “the least of these brothers and sisters of mine” (25:40). The alternate, inclusive view understands “the least” as all those who are poor—Christian or not (24:45).” Jul 20, 2015

One last question.

What Would Jesus Anywhere Else In The New Testament Do?

#JesusWasntJoking about wolves in the pulpit. Eternity with Jesus awaits His children. Not His oath keepers.
