Scot McKnight Quotes
Simple Acts Are More Valuable Than Extraordinary Powers Or Spiritual Gifts. For Jesus There Is A Categorical Difference Between Charismatic Giftedness And The Ordinary Fruit Of Love, Compassion, And Mercy. Perhaps We Need To Learn To Ask Ourselves, Particularly If We Are Gifted Leaders, If We Value Our Gifts More Than Love, If We Value The Performance Of A Gift For The Good Of Others Or The Gift Of Love For The Good Of Others. When Jesus Used "fruit" Over Against Mighty Charismatic Gifts, He Was Getting At What Mattered Most. Do You Show Love To Your Neighbors, To Your Enemies, And To All Those Who Happen To Be On Your Path? Jesus Is Saying Here That If You Don't Do The Latter, He Doesn't Particularly Care About Your Charismatic Giftedness.
