What was Christ like that we should be Christlike? He spoke in parables to multitudes of people so that they wouldn't repent and be healed. He hung out with low-lifes and outcasts. He defied religious traditions and rules right in front of the religious leaders who held to them. He refused to enter into a family's debate over inheritance. He bucked social norms to deal with undesirable people. He called a foreign woman a dog. He made over 100 gallons of wine at a wedding. He hid His identity from several people while talking to them. He overturned tables in the temple. He made the first last, and the last first. He allowed expensive perfume to be used on Him instead of giving its value to the poor. He pronounced woes upon religious leaders to their faces. He rebuked a governor for mistaking the source of his authority.
How would the world react if one of us acted like this? How would other Christians react if one of us acted like this?
What say you?
