5.9-

Jesus loved people and that is why He pushed evil away from them.  There is evil that seems so pure and arrogant, conceited and self-righteous.

Jesus didn’t see “us” versus “them”.  He saw each individual.  We labed.  Vikings or Victims.  Whore, sluts or princess.  Numbskulls and nincompoops. Nerds or jocks.  It’s simply a labeling process for too many of us.  Not Jesus.

Luke 18. ⁹ And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt: ¹⁰ “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. ¹¹ The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. ¹² I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.’ ¹³ But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be ^[f]merciful to me, the sinner!’ ¹⁴ I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Proverbs 30.

¹² There is a ^[e]kind who is pure in his own eyes,
Yet is not washed from his filthiness.
¹³ There is a ^[f]kind—oh how lofty are his eyes!
And his eyelids are raised in arrogance.
¹⁴ There is a ^[g]kind of man whose teeth are like swords
And his jaw teeth like knives,
To devour the afflicted from the earth
And the needy from among men.
