Jesus is Weird
So I’ve done 25 episodes now about Weird Stuff in the Bible, but I haven’t talked about Jesus too much yet.
And I really need to, for two reasons. One, because everything in the Bible centers around Jesus.
And two, because Jesus is weird.
Now, I don’t mean that to be disrespectful. I just mean that He was odd.
If you don’t think Jesus is weird, I don’t think you know Jesus very well. He’s completely bizarre. His actions and emotions seem random. He seems to get set off by things that don’t bother other people. He’s extremely loving and gracious one minute and the next he’s kicking over a table. People come to him for help and he doesn’t help them. He gives them something else that they didn’t want. People ask him a question and he hardly ever answers their question- he’ll go off about something else that seems totally unrelated.
And just when He starts making sense- just when it starts to feel like you’re on the same page with Him- He suddenly changes direction and does something totally unexpected.
And I want to look at one of those stories today. Because I find Jesus to be weird. And I’d like know why He does what He does in the Bible.
Turn to Luke 4, and let’s get weird.
