    Matthew 20-21: Not fair!

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 18, 2025 16:45 Transcription Available


    What happens when Jesus's teachings don't align with our expectations of comfort and fairness? Matthew chapters 20-21 confront us with this very tension, revealing a kingdom that operates contrary to our natural instincts.Jesus delivers a string of teachings and parables that systematically dismantle our human-centered perspective. The parable of the vineyard workers challenges our sense of fairness when those hired last receive the same wage as those who worked all day. When the disciples argue about position and status, Jesus flips the script: "Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant." As he enters Jerusalem to shouts of "Hosanna," the religious establishment questions his authority, unable to recognize God's work before their eyes.Throughout these passages, a profound truth emerges—the more extreme Jesus's words sound to us, the greater the gap between our willingness to obey and what he's calling us to. Following Jesus means acknowledging that he doesn't owe us anything for our obedience. Rather, we owe him everything because he first gave us life. As he reminds us, obedience isn't just saying "yes," it's doing "yes." And while Jesus is good and just, he isn't fair—thank God for that! If he were truly fair, none of us would receive the grace we so desperately need.Ready to embrace the upside-down values of Jesus's kingdom?

In this thought-provoking episode, we dive into Matthew 17-19 where Jesus consistently challenges conventional wisdom and turns our expectations upside down.The heart of our discussion centers on a radical proposition: what if we actually took Jesus literally? When he says to cut off a hand that causes sin, to forgive seventy-seven times, or to follow his specific process for conflict resolution – what if we stopped softening these commands and simply obeyed them?

    What happens when we move beyond merely knowing what the Bible says to radically living it out? Mike and his wife Kelsey introduce a powerful new weekly segment called "Living Outloud," designed to bridge the gap between biblical knowledge and biblical obedience.This heartfelt conversation challenges the comfortable Christianity many of us have settled for. While reading scripture and gaining knowledge is valuable, James reminds us not to be "hearers of the word only, but doers of the word." The hosts explore the subtle but crucial distinction between "applying" scripture (which feels optional) and "obeying" scripture (which reflects true discipleship).Whether you're just beginning your faith journey or have been following Jesus for decades, this conversation will challenge you to examine where you might be hearing without obeying, knowing without living.
