Matt 8:10-12
10 Taken aback, Jesus said, "I've yet to come across
this kind of simple trust in Israel, the very people who are supposed to know
all about God and how he works. 11 This man is the vanguard of many outsiders
who will soon be coming from all directions — streaming in from the east,
pouring in from the west, sitting down at God's kingdom banquet alongside
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 12 Then those who grew up 'in the faith' but had no
faith will find themselves out in the cold, outsiders to grace and wondering what
happened.”
Being “socially acceptable” is the same thing as “growing up
in the faith but having no faith”.
