About this episode

The episode discusses the concept of tough love as demonstrated by Jesus during Holy Week.

Over and over throughout Holy Week, we see Jesus doing the hard thing because He loves us. Jesus Christ was never bolder or more clear about His true identity than in the final days before His death on the cross. He loves us enough to get in our face and call us out when we are on a path that is heading to destruction. The words and actions of Jesus may seem harsh, but in reality they were loving . Jesus was the king of tough love . But tough love isn’t for the tender-hearted who desperately want to please the Father. Tough love is for the hard-hearted who need to be broken before it’s too late.
