His concern was delivering us from the rebellion of our hearts.

Jesus didn’t come to tell us about healthy eating and natural medicine.
He came to heal us from our brokenness.

Jesus didn’t come to give us more faith.

Is Jesus in your racism?
Is He there in your homophobia?
Is He the one throwing stones at prostitutes and strippers?
Is it Jesus who is causing your self-righteousness and arrogance?
Is He the one that makes you so angry?
Is it Jesus calling you to boycott movies and demonize Hollywood?
Is it really Christ in you that determines how you vote?
Does the Jesus in you tell you not to help the poor and the hungry?
Is it Jesus who allows you to be greedy and store up as much treasure as you can on this earth?
Is this Jesus inside of you telling you not to recycle and be a good steward of the land and air?
Are you representing the God who lives inside you, or have you trapped him and kept Him from getting out?

Do we expect anyone to believe that Jesus lives in us? Are we kidding ourselves?
