The Bible says that common people heard Jesus gladly. Why do you suppose the common people heard him gladly? Do you think it was because he had his theology right? Do you think it was because he urged them to be nicer than they were? Do you think that it was because he blew them away with his condemnation? Are you kidding? He talked about forgiveness, and he loved them. The thing that is scary about Jesus is that the most religious and the most committed people didn't like him. You know why? I'm telling you, because they felt they were good and didn't need to be forgiven. And of course God would love them because they were after all quite lovable. Let me tell you what Jesus does. He's still going around. He's still forgiving people. He still loves them, those who want it. I'm Steve Brown of Key Life Network. You think about that. Visit Key Life on the Internet at keylife.org
