Quote
F.F. Bruce in his book, The Hard Sayings of Jesus, reminds us that Christ made many enemies. Bruce
states: “The Jesus whom we meet in the Gospels, far from being an inoffensive person, gave offence
right and left. Even his loyal followers found him, at times, thoroughly disconcerting. He upset all
established notions of religious propriety. He spoke of God in terms of intimacy which sounded like
blasphemy. He seemed to enjoy the most questionable company. He set out with open eyes on a road
which, in the view of ‘sensible’ people, was bound to lead to disaster.”Share
