Getting Past "Meek & Mild" Jesus

Jul 10, 2024    Trevor Hersey

One of the most cunning and deceptive strategies employed by the enemy is to distort our perception of Jesus. This tactic is insidious because it targets the very relationship we have with Him, a bond that should be characterized by love, trust, and intimacy. An incorrect view of Jesus can have devastating effects, as it undermines our connection with Him in ways that are akin to theft, mortality, and utter destruction.

In today's message, Trevor goes into the narrative of Jesus as depicted in John 2. It's a powerful chapter that provides rich insights into who Jesus was and how He interacted with those around Him. By examining this scripture closely, Trevor will extract pertinent lessons that resonate with this week's reading in our Book Club, which features "Beautiful Outlaw."

"Beautiful Outlaw," a book that paints a vivid portrait of Jesus, removing the religious varnish to reveal the raw and wonderful truth of His personality, offers a fresh perspective that challenges many preconceived notions. What makes this examination so vital is that it allows us to confront and remove any misconceptions or false images that might cloud our understanding of Christ.

As we engage with both the scripture and the book, we're invited to embark on a transformative journeyโ€”one that promises to renew our sense of awe and wonder in Jesus. By peeling back the layers of tradition and misinterpretation, we stand to rediscover the Son of God in His truest form: wild, unrestricted, and beautifully outlawed from conventional expectations.
