Most of us are not the ones to tempt fate. We don't rock the boat cause we're afraid everything will turn upside down on us. So, most of us spend a lot of time trying to make ourselves happy and everyone around us happy. It really gets kind of boring. That's why I appreciate Jesus so much. He did things that really made people mad. He didn't spend a lot of time smoothing things over, sugarcoating them, or making peace.
And I don't have a Messiah complex or any delusions of grandeur, but I would like to be like Jesus in ways. Jesus was calculating. He knew that certain things would make people mad and he did them anyway to teach them important things like what is important. I guess it's true that Jesus did not worry so much about what people thought about him. He just did what he thought was right. If people got offended in the process, it was because their hearts were in the wrong place - not his.
