That's Not What Jesus Said
from The Orchard Church Hosted by The Orchard Church
Have you ever been in a place where someone said something so shocking that the whole room went silent and people couldn’t decide how to feel? Not just an awkward silence, but a stunned hush. Words so strong and offensive that it was difficult to wrap your head around what was said and there was no way to take the sting out of it. Direct, uncomfortable, and in your face. Jesus is a Misunderstood King. Even today we find many who will speak positively about Jesus, but they don’t want to hear talk of sin and hell. Following Jesus is sometimes reduced to good intentions, religious activity, and just being nice.These ideas are out of step with Jesus and his gospel. If anyone wants to followJesus, they must be willing to die to themselves daily and practice self-denial.Nothing is better than entering eternal life and the kingdom of God, but nothing could be worse than choosing sin and self over following Jesus. Sin is so serious that Jesus is about to say some things that will oppose the very idea of comfortable Christianity because souls are in danger.
