THE JESUS PARADOXWhen Jesus ministered on this earth, He shattered the misunderstandings that people had about the coming of the promised Messiah. It’s time for some of the misunderstandings of our culture to be shattered as well. Jesus is a paradox that we can ignore to our peril and pursue to our eternal joy.

The religious establishment of Jesus’ day did a lot of good things but, in the process, they lost sight of doing the most important things. Jesus refused to allow religious performance to be an acceptable substitute for godly living.
