Devotional about What is wrong with Jesus? Apparently everything
Introduction
This is a rather daring title for a devotional, isn’t it? Do we dare to question Jesus? Before you react, let’s clarify that the title is a reflection of the prevailing skepticism towards Jesus and biblical principles in today’s world. The aim of this devotional is not to criticize Jesus but to highlight the need to understand His life and ministry better.
Jesus in a Secular Perspective
In the secular perspective, many view Jesus as controversial and challenging, “wrong” in His absoluteness and in His claims of exclusive salvation through Him. His teachings are seen to defy the modern culture of tolerance, plurality and equal validity of all religions.
The Deeper Understanding
The supposed “wrongness” of Jesus is precisely what makes Him unique, relevant, and needed. We need the absolute truth, love, and holiness that He embodies. The secular world doesn’t see the broader picture of His redemptive work, His transforming love, and His offering of eternal life.
Standing Firm in Faith
As believers, we must stand firm in our faith and be prepared to defend it. We must strive to understand our faith deeply, communicate it compassionately, and live it out convincingly.
