“When Jesus came to earth, demons recognized him, the sick flocked to him, and sinners doused his feet and head with perfume. Meanwhile he offended pious Jews with their strict preconceptions of what God should be like. Their rejection makes me wonder, could religious types be doing just the reverse now? Could we be perpetuating an image of Jesus that fits our pious expectations but does not match the person portrayed so vividly in the Gospels?” ShouldPersonsDoeEarthJesusReligiousWonderFeetTypeFitExpectationsSickJewRejectionDemonSinnerReverseStrictPerfumeOffendedPiousPreconceptionsPerpetuating Book:The Jesus I Never Knew Study Guide Source: The Jesus I Never Knew Study Guide
“Christianity without the cross is nothing. The cross was the fitting close of a life of rejection, scorn and defeat. But in no true sense have these things ceased or changed. Jesus is still He whom man despiseth, and the rejected of men. The world has never admired Jesus, for moral courage is yet needed in every one of its high places by him who would "confess" Christ. The "offense" of the cross, therefore, has led men in all ages to endeavor to be rid of it, and to deny that it is the power of God in the world.” MenWorldStillsAgeJesusChristMoralChristianityChangedNeededCrossesDefeatDenyRejectionEndeavorRejectedOffenseScornFittingPower Of GodMoral CourageHigh Places Author:Lord Kelvin
“Carrying the cross does mean following in Jesus' footsteps. And in His footsteps are rejection, brokenheartedness, persecution and death.
