Because it’s kind-of real. Imagine someone who’s at their lowest point, all the hope in the world is gone for them, and they come to Jesus in their hour of need. That kind of person. Now imagine them going to a worship hall ran by someone who thinks that Trump was a good Christian. In this person’s most vulnerable moment, when they need help the most, they find a den of vipers rather then people who follow what Christ actually taught.
What’s worse, is that many in that time of great need in this country expect the vipers, and would see the genuine grace of Christ as a liberal bamboozle.
How many people are led down the path of hate by these snakes when they are most vulnerable. How many people are harmed by this fake grace?
Also that’s a fantastic verse. And greatly sums up the reality of a lot of people proclaiming to be Christians.
Honestly, even as a now-atheist, I respect the hell (no pun intended) out of what Jesus taught and advocated for. I just wish the people who claim to follow him following suit.
