'The Myth of Christian Pacifism'

[zapfbroad]

Interesting sermon by Pastor Jeff Wickwire out of Texas about the role of self defense from a biblical perspective and how the image of a pacifist Jesus has pervaded modern Christendom. ~ 38 minutes.

The first time I was ever confronted with the idea that Jesus was not what I had been taught that He was, it was like a slap in the face because I had never thought of Him that way. I get weary of people ascribing attributes to Him that are totally false.

 

Like Pastor Wickwire, I don't like nice either. Kind, yes, but not nice. I don't trust "nice", especially people who are overly so. I don't trust someone who is nice all the time and smiles too much.

 

I'm personally grateful that Jesus is one tough hombre, because if He wasn't, He would have never gone to the cross to save me from my sins.

 

The good pastor's message is full of win. Thanks for posting it, Z.
