in a series here called Humanology. And for those that have an interest in this, it's really

what we're really exploring is a branch of systematic theology called Christology. But as

opposed to focusing on, here's a Christian claim. The Christian claim is very simple. Jesus is not

half God and half man. He was 100% God and 100% man, but much of the conversation

about Jesus is on his divinity. What we're doing is we're exploring over the next several weeks,

his humanity, because God became a human, not to show a human how to become a God, but to show a human

how to be a human as God intended and so

this isn't a series on humanism but it is a series on humanology so in Matthew chapter

number 17 we're going to see an aspect of the humanity of Jesus that we can learn from

it's it's Matthew records these words when they came to crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him.

Lord, have mercy on my son, he said. He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He falls into the fire or into the water.

I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him. I want you to look at verse 17 because this is your Jesus talking here, okay?

This is your lily in the valley, bright and morning star, wheel in the middle of the wheel, Jesus.

Watch what he says in verse 17, you unbelieving and perverse generation, Jesus replied,

how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you?

Got a little quiet in here. Bring the boy here to me. And Jesus rebuked the demon and it came out of the boy and he was healed at that moment.

The clause of concern is found in verse 17 where the text records, Jesus saying these words,

you unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I stay with you?

How long shall I put up with you?

We're going to stop the reading of scripture there.

And we're going to talk from this subject in our time together, family.

I'm tired of y'all.
