The Words of Jesus
Jesus said a lot of words.
I have observed that we tend to gravitate towards and appropriate the words of Jesus that we're most comfortable with and that match our presuppositions the best, and ignore or minimize - or even dismiss - the ones that make us uncomfortable or challenge our presuppositions.
One group acts as if the only thing Jesus ever said is contained in the Sermon on the Mount, another only talks about his preaching on Hell, and yet another parks in John 10 and emphasizes the 'abundant life'.
What if we felt the weight of ALL Jesus said?
Just might be a revolution...
