07 John – Jesus Causes a Reaction

By Richard

Anne Rice, the author of numerous novels about vampires eventually ended up becoming a Christ follower. One of the things that convinced her of Jesus reality was that as she researched all she could about Jesus over several years she discovered that many scholars treated Jesus with a distain that was unparalleled in any other historical person. Many made snide and unfair comments about Jesus. The fact that Jesus caused a reaction helped her believe that he was who he said he was.

Jesus tells his brothers, “The world has nothing against you, but it’s up in arms against me. It’s against me because I expose the evil behind its pretensions.” (John 7: 6-8, the Message).

Jesus is clear. He’s under no illusion. He causes a reaction.
