Do you guys believe in JEsus? THen act as Jesus would. It's not easy. Our emotions get us carried away. But Jesus was tortured and crucified, and he was silent.

I agree with Chris, but I want to add:
Jesus wasn't rejected, despised, tortured and crucified because He was silent. He spoke clearly, boldly, openly about the errors of the Pharisees, He warned people about the Pharisees, and that's why they became His enemies.
Not because of Jesus' offensive message, but because of their hardened heart that was unwilling to repent.

You have to see that Jesus didn't go to court because of his unrighteousness but because the unrighteous ones couldn't bear righteousness.
Now, the question would be: are those who abide in, cover up, tolerate, remain silent about sins in their midst the righteous ones?

"Acting like Jesus" means: to speak up about sin, to clerly reject it and to warn others not to mingle with it. Not "sthu".

In Christ,
Mike K.
