I'd like to discuss a difference in extremes...? That is wisdom...
We were all leaning to one extreme, the extreme of wrong and injustice...
In order to offset that, we had to be presented and exposed to, the opposite extreme(s)...
Which is some of what Jesus did... Extremes like cutting of your hand or arm, or giving everything and all to the poor, no matter where that put you...
I don't think he (Christ) meant for us to necessarily go to those extremes, but was more intended for us to "meet in the middle" and find a "balance" (between the extremes), which is wisdom...
For example, giving away literally everything you have or own, would put you in a position to not be able to do that at all anymore in the future... And I don't think that is what he (Christ) meant, intended or wanted...
We were just all leaning so far to one unrighteous extreme, that it's opposite had to be presented, and was needed to offset the extreme we were on and were leaning toward or to...
Wisdom finds a balance, wisdom, meets somewhere in the middle of the two extremes...
So, let's discuss this wisdom...
Comment is invited...
God Bless!
