Tea Temperature
ParableAnalogy★★★I like hot tea. I think you do too. You just had your tea heated up. But it’s interesting that Jesus says, ‘I will vomit you out of my mouth.’ He doesn’t say ‘I am,’ he says ‘I will.’ So that to me says, we’re still in his mouth, he’s giving us this warning and this encouragement. He hasn’t yet spat us out, but he tells us we taste bad. He wishes that we would live for him wholeheartedly or not at all.
