While the disciples were disputing concerning precedence our Lord, the teacher of humility, took a little child and said: —Except ye be converted and become as little children ye cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.— And lest He should seem to preach more than he practised, He fulfilled His own precept in His life. For He washed His disciples’ feet, He received the traitor with a kiss, He conversed with the woman of Samaria, He spoke of the kingdom of heaven with Mary at His feet, and when He rose again from the dead He showed Himself first to some poor women. Pride is opposed to humility, and through it Satan lost his eminence as an archangel. The Jewish people perished in their pride, for while they claimed the chief seats and salutations in the market place, they were superseded by the Gentiles, who had before been counted as —a drop of a bucket.— Two poor fishermen, Peter and James, were sent to confute the sophists and the wise men of the world. As the Scripture says: —God resisteth the proud and giveth grace to the humble.— Think, brother, what a sin it must be which has God for its opponent. In the Gospel the Pharisee is rejected because of his pride, and the publican is accepted because of his humility. — Letter XII. To Antony, Monk.
Rod Watson pegs it in his Buffalo News commentary: Consequences implicit when quoting Jesus

If they can prove he didn’t, that would explain a lot, considering the mayhem and meltdowns all around.
But if they can prove he really did exist, that might be even worse.
I don’t claim to be a biblical expert like, say, Rush Limbaugh. But even a cursory reading of what Jesus is supposed to have said is enough to make one shudder at the consequences if the scholars here prove he really did say those things —” and that he expected us to listen up.
Consider:
Whatever you do for the least of these my brothers, you do it for me. (Matthew 25:40)…
