In a post-modern, relativistic culture like our own, a Jesus who proclaims that he alone is the way, the truth, and the life, is bound to cause discomfort and friction amongst our non-Christian neighbours.
Because of this, even though we may believe and profess a Christ who is both a humble servant and divine king, it may not be evident to those around us. Do we, in our interactions with non-Christians, give the impression that we serve a king who is the creator of the universe and judge of mankind? This is not to say that we should de-emphasise the Jesus 'friend of sinners' and replace it with just the all-powerful lord and judge Jesus.
Rather, we need to present a balanced and true reflection of who Jesus is to those around us—which translates not only into what we say, but which also reflects both a reverence and love for Jesus in our words and actions.

Then there is the real Jesus. The one from the Bible, the one that who always was, who is now, and who is to come sooner than some may think.
He answered both times. It gives me peace of mind to talk to him! He is there! But God, yes God, in His usual amazing way, placed our family in a new home that was a block from a small Methodist church in southwestern Louisiana. I even have pins for perfect attendance. Eventually, our mother joined us.
