Jesus

I'm really tired of people thinking of Jesus as a chill, relaxed dude. In America, Jesus has become "our homie" or a person that only loves and who works for us. Unfortunately many churches would like to think, and do think, that Jesus is a calm, reserved man who lived in suburbia and lived a comfortable life who was involved in church, but not willing to risk too much. Since when did THIS become ok and admirable? We serve THE Christ, our Sovereign LORD. The conservative, religious leaders of the day thought that this man was crazed, a drunkard and had a demon. We serve the man who drove out the shopkeepers in the temple with a whip, the man who hung with the IRS agents of the day, and the druggies. In many and most cases, he condemned those who were most like the modern American Christians. I may be completely wrong about this, but we all have to agree that there is something significantly wrong about America's view of the Savior of the world. I challenge you all to read the gospels and really look at who Jesus was, and go and try to live a life worthy of his calling.
