"Jesus was a great teacher. A caregiver. A carpenter. A human being. Approachable. He was the everyday man who lived among others and understood the trials and tribulations of what it takes to put food on the table. But at the same time, he was able to organize groups of people and was a great leader. Jesus was a voice of peace and hope and an inspiration to many people. Jesus had a lot of moral conviction about the goodness of human beings. Instead of seeing darkness in people, he saw goodness. Turn the other cheek; if your brother sins against you, forgive him. He believed in people."
This was what a thirty-year-old manager of an independent coffee shop said when asked about Jesus. He respects and likes Jesus but does not go to church. (This was taken from the book They Like Jesus But Not The Church by Dan Kimball)
Some very insightful stuff for someone outside of the church. Not fully encompassing, but some good stuff here. What about you?
How would you describe Jesus? We as Christians claim to profess to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Well, if that's true, we ought to have some sense of who He is. So, how would you describe Jesus?
