i wanted to add something to the quote in the last post...ok so i said there were no words, but i thought of some...like any of you are surprised...
the whole point of the quote was that Jesus was revolutionary...but i wonder how people will read this...i also wonder how it was meant to be read by the author (he was after all writing it a while ago)...having the mindset that i do, i read it to mean that Jesus lived the kind of life that challenged the norm...he inspired a new way of living...and this way of living was revolutionary and made him quite a few enemies...but these enemies were not in the government...and they weren't among the typical "sinners" of his day...they were the religious...the church of his day...they were his biggest enemy
it seems so ironic to me that so many people who would tell you that they are trying to live Christ-like lives do so by opposing the government's stand on this or that or by refusing to associate with those living a "sinful" lifestyle...its' ironic because Jesus never seemed to do either of these...his life was revolutionary but it was not obnoxious
