Join us as we talk about how Jesus uses offenses to challenge people to level up; to set aside our pride and our right to be offended and live in such a way that nothing will be impossible for us.
There are multiple examples throughout the history of the Bible where Jesus uses "offenses" to bring blessings.
For example, Jesus likened a Canaanite woman to a dog after ignoring her cries for help, and, because her faith overruled her offense, she received what she came for.. Her daughter was healed.
Jesus braided a whip on a hilltop then used it to trash the Temple because the Temple was filled with people seeking their own selfish gain.
Jesus challenged the wealthy religious man to give up his wealth if he truly wished to gain the Kingdom of God.
Jesus called out the woman by the well for being promiscuous, insulted her cultural traditions and then offered her Living Water.
We all have a choice.. get offended, or see through to the blessing and growth that comes after the offense.
