N T Wright in Simply Jesus leaves me with all kinds of crazy questions.

If Jesus IS King… why are in such a mess? What has gone wrong? Or, what IS going wrong?

One of the tough questions he poses:

What is the use of announcing love and peace if you make angry, violent war to achieve it?

The message of the gospel is so incredibly powerful, and I am finding more and more we are diluting the message. We think we have a great “product” to “market” to this world. All we are doing is selling some very nice looking cotton candy.

Jesus is KING, and that should have more implications in our lives than we are seeing these days.
