Listen "Suffering Jesus, the resistant Messiah"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever noticed how in the gospels the only people who called Jesus the Messiah were devils?
You’d think we’d have given up on messiahs by now. For they always fail us. But we do persist in looking to these people to save us.
How “the offence of the cross” resources our resistance to the Messiah complex.
A talk for The Second Sunday of Lent, 28 February 2021.
