Episode Details
Back to Episodes#83 - Kyle Thompson // Disruptive Honesty
Description
We explore how John Eldridge's "Beautiful Outlaw" helps us understand Jesus' personality, focusing on his disruptive honesty and what it reveals about his character. Understanding Jesus means embracing his full humanity, including his confrontational nature when addressing religious hypocrisy.
• Jesus had a real personality as both fully God and fully man
• We often appreciate Jesus' honesty when directed at others but squirm when it's aimed at us
• Jesus confronted the Pharisee about cleaning the outside of the cup while being full of greed inside
• The exclusivity of Jesus as the only way to salvation is perhaps his most offensive claim
• We must reckon with our sin debt that we cannot pay ourselves
• Faith in Christ requires both belief and repentance, not just intellectual acknowledgment
