"Meek and mild teacher or mysterious rebel with a cause?"

Thanks for the blog link Jeff I checked it out and followed a link to find this article that Cheryl Lawrie had written for The Age which was published on Easter Sunday.

If anyone is interested check out the blog here and the article here. I find it helpful and complimentary to my ongoing conversation about who Jesus was, what he lived and died for, and what is really important for followers of the Risen Christ to be concerned about today.

Here's a quote from the article "Meek and mild teacher or mysterious rebel with a cause?" I prefer the latter personally, that's the Jesus I follow:

"As the stories of Jesus show us, it's rarely those in positions of power and influence who understand who God is. They have too much to lose. Instead, look for what the poor, the prisoner, the women, the children would tell us of who God is, because Jesus says it's with them that God is to be found. And trust it most if they speak of love."

Cheryl Lawrie works with an alternative worship project for the Uniting Church.
