Jesus Was Not A Christian

Don Everts, Jesus with Dirty Feet, A Down-to-Earth Look at Christianity for the Curious & Skeptical, InterVarsity Press, 1999, pp. 13, 14.

"To really understand 'Christianity' we have to go back to the beginning, to put first things first.  For starters, Jesus was not a Christian. He never asked anyone to become a Christian, never built a steepled building, never drew up a theological treatise, never took an offering, never wore religious garments, never incorporated for tax purposes . . . He simply called people to follow him.

That's it.  That, despite its simplicity, is it. He called people to follow him.  The first two were brothers: Simon and Andrew. Regular guys.  Simple fishermen.  The first two Christians ever.  Those brothers didn't think at all about 'becoming Christians' or taking on a new religion.

 Here was this thirty-year-old man (a carpenter) who simply said 'follow me.'  And they believed him."

SoAmazing Review: Don Everts takes a fresh look at Jesus, stripped of centuries of gloss and tradition.  Jesus with Dirty Feet is an eye-opening experience.

Go To Jesus

John Ortberg, If You Want To Walk On Water, You've Got To Get Out Of The Boat, Zondervan, 2001, p. 27.41. SoAmazing.com

"Jesus is still looking for people who will get out of the boat.  Why risk it?  I believe there are many reasons:

----It is the only way to real growth.
----It is the way true faith develops.
----It is the alternative to boredom and stagnation that
      causes people to wither up and die.
----It is part of discovering and obeying your calling.

I believe there are many good reasons to get out of the boat.  But here is one that trumps them all: The water is where Jesus is. The water may be dark, wet, and dangerous.  But Jesus is not in the boat.  The main reason Peter got out of the boat is that he wanted to be where Jesus was. Matthew keeps referring to this reality.  Peter's request is, 'Lord, if it's you, command me to come to you.'  Then Peter got out the boat 'came toward Jesus.' "

SoAmazing Review: If You Want to Walk On Water, You've Got To Get Out Of The Boat is for those who want to live life to its fullest.  Will you get out of the boat and go toward Jesus?
