Next Episode: Matthew 5:27-30 - Objectification
One of the things Jesus teaches is that calling someone a fool/idiot is closely related to anger, in that it represents a destructive attack on one’s character and identity. Jesus warns us that the person who violates another person made in God’s image in this grievous way is liable to the hell of fire. Followers of Jesus are commanded to treat others with dignity and respect rather than giving anger a place in our human interactions, especially with other Christians. All devaluing of people has no place in the kingdom of God..
How do we respond to Jesus' ethic of honor in the midst of a shame and outrage culture?
