I know these are things that we've all heard before, but sometimes just putting them on paper and reading through things He said and who He was just takes my breath away. He was really somethin'. No, he IS really somethin'.
Jesus walked on water.
He said what He thought. And it made people want to kill Him.
He did not stone the woman that committed adultery, but said "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
He TOUCHED and embraced the man with leprosy. That's risky business.
He told us that NARROW is the road that leads to life and FEW find it.
He flipped over the temple tables.
He told us that just LOOKING at someone lustfully is considered adultery in His eyes.
He fed thousands with 5 loafs and 2 fish.
He told us to LOVE our enemies and PRAY for them.
He called the high priests HYPOCRITES.
His teaching was unlike anything ever heard.
He questioned people. And made them actually THINK. His questions blew people away, made them angry, made them cry, and eventually made them want to kill Him.
He loved the "wrong" kind of people.
He always chose grace.
While hanging on a cross, for OUR sins, we mocked Him and spat on Him, and He cried out to God "Father, FORGIVE THEM!"
^That last one alone is mind boggling.
Jesus was a revolution. I want to live for the revolution.
