[OLD REGGIE]

If we are to understand Scripture as it is written, then Jesus described Himself as “meek and humble of heart” and told us to learn that from Him.

It surely seems like YOPIOS to me to describe the parables of Jesus as “satire”. I think that is a stretch.

You don't recognize the meaning of a "smile"?

In any event:

[12] And Jesus entered the temple of God and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. BR>
"Meek"? Wow!

[Running On Empty]

That was Jesus the Living Word of God made flesh and dwelling among us. In that moment, He did what the Father willed Him to do in all things—just as He gave us an example in Gethsemane. In this scene—the turning of the money-changing tables, and again when he stood in the temple and called the pharisees “dead men’s bones and whited sepulchres.....”, he was addressing those who paraded a false religiosity.

But we are not the Living Word of God—and we aren’t in a position to judge hearts as He did in those moments.

We are His loved ones whom He Created for Himself. It was to us that He said “Learn from Me.......”. Surely His words aren’t to fall on deaf ears.
