Would Jesus Have Been Crucified If He Preached Like Pastors Today?
Ouch! This quote hurts.
“If Jesus preached the same message ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified.”
–Leonard Ravenhill
Do you agree?
This is certainly not true for every pastor. However, I’m afraid this may be true with a lot of the self-help, prosperity preaching today.
If Jesus never said anything controversial, if he only preached tips for better living, nobody would have thought twice about it.
Jesus was crucified because He taught that He was God.
Jesus was crucified because He taught He alone was the way to Heaven.
Jesus was crucified because He proclaimed the forgiveness of sins for anyone who had faith in Him.
Jesus was crucified because He called sin a sin.
Jesus was crucified because He was controversial.
If our preaching is not controversial to society every now and then, are we doing it wrong?
First of all, I am very grateful for what you have come up with regarding proper preaching.
However, I have requests for you which are not connected to preaching.
I lost all my parents some years ago and I would like Lord God Almighty to forgive them for sins they committed when they were still alive in this world, but they never confessed them to Lord God Almighty to forgive them.
I would like their precious souls to enter God Almighty’s Kingdom which Lord Jesus Christ is coming back to establish here on EARTH.
The truth in Lord God Almighty’s Kingdom will set them free forever.
Will you please, come up with a very strong and meaningful prayer which I can use because the Bible tells us that all are born sinners except Lord Jesus Christ.
Second request is about Fasting for them the dates they left this world behind. What can I about this?
Kind regards and I look forward to receiving your response very soon. AMEN.
