Our Leaders behavior shocked the religious establishment. Christ partied with people considered by others to be crooks, drunks and sluts. A woman of questionable morals kissed his feet. He did things on the Sabbath he wasnt supposed to. He insulted dignitaries, calling them vipers, blind fools, whitewashed tombs and other endearing names. Those closest to him usually had no idea what he was talking about hes warning them about the Pharisees and they think hes complaining about leaving the bread behind but to those outside his inner circle, Christ wasnt nearly so intelligible. He was acknowledged by demons and rejected by theologians. He spoke to a fever, a tree, even a storm. Before long, Jesus sanity was called into question and at one stage his family came to take charge of him. He was forever messing up funerals, wrecking beggars only source of income their infirmities and outraging religious leaders. He made goo with spit and smeared it on a beggars eyes. He stuck his fingers in a mans ears, spat, and grabbed the mans tongue. How many churches would tolerate such ludicrous behavior? He took a short-cut across the lake without a boat. He sent two thousand swine hurtling to their death. He physically assaulted temple workers. No one whether friends, family, admirers; devout, legalistic or lax could agree with him for long. Are you sure you want to be Christlike?
