THE REAL JESUS
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Met the Real Jesus?
b) Jesus sweat just like you and me. He could become incredibly hungry and exhausted. He was also tested, on a daily basis, with the same kinds of temptations and trials common to all mankind.
c) Our Savior could laugh and sing a song. He enjoyed the company of those who were the same age (humanly speaking) as he was. Jesus was not poor but instead grew up in an environment whether his earthly father had his own business in construction.
d) The man who was the REAL Jesus was looked up to by Roman army officials but was eventually hated and despised by most religious leaders of his time to the point where they wanted him dead!
e) Not only was Christ not born anywhere near Christmas he was actually born sometime in the fall of the year. He learned a trade and went into construction. He also owned likely two homes and taxes. Many times he stayed overnight in the houses of those who were rich. He was very friendly to 'sinners' like fishermen, soldiers, thieves, politicians, religious folk and whores. His death was not the result his heart being broken nor was put on what we today label "Good Friday" - and that He was not resurrected from the dead on the morning of Easter. Jesus Christ is also ALIVE and well today!
f) It's time to challenged your own understanding of the real Jesus - a man who could shock or even challenge you - but he would never be boring!
The End ...
1. Met the Real Jesus?
a) It's time you met the real Jesus - someone who could be rather authoritative at times. He could make himself quite irritated and respond with quick correction at any self-righteous religious leaders or even his own apostles. He could was also be very warm, loving, and kind.
c) Our Savior could laugh and sing a song. He enjoyed the company of those who were the same age (humanly speaking) as he was. Jesus was not poor but instead grew up in an environment whether his earthly father had his own business in construction.
d) The man who was the REAL Jesus was looked up to by Roman army officials but was eventually hated and despised by most religious leaders of his time to the point where they wanted him dead!
