Outline
Hook: What could make you walk away from Jesus?
I. THE ROARING LION
"The people who hanged Christ never accused him of being a bore. On the contrary, they thought him too dynamic to be safe. It has been left for latter generations to muffle up that shattering personality and surround him with an atmosphere of tedium. We have every efficiently pared the claws of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, certified him 'meek and mild,' and recommended him as a fitting house pet for pale curates and pious old ladies." - Dorothy Sayers
II. THE ONLY STREAM
"Arguably, early Christianity represented not simply belief in one particular deity among many but, actually, in some respects a different kind of religion. Early Christianity was so different that many Roman-era people recoiled from Christianity and accused Christians of rank impiety and atheism." - Larry Hurtado
Take-away: Feed on Jesus!
