The Second Mile, Part 1 - We know... They Didn't

Thousands of curious people crowded onto a primitive hillside 2000 years ago to hear the message of someone who was clearly a prophet - and had the power of God on His life. They saw stuff they’d never seen in their lives. Some suspected that He could be the Anointed King the Jewish Scriptures foretold – but time would tell.  We now know who He was! Those who follow Him in 2019 now know that He was the Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed King – and that He was the Son of God – and God the Son. We know that even though humankind did their worst by Him - nailing Him to a cross and humiliating Him publicly, He rose from the dead and gave His best for us. We know that! So…why is it that we shy away from His teachings – and make excuses for not following them?
