Human Wrecking Ball
It’s time to reacquaint ourselves with Christ the man. Read your Bible. He’s there! Think of His physical power – a carpenter who worked long days with physical tools. He had “the voice and manner of a leader – the personal magnetism that begets loyalty and commands respect.” Christ plows through the gospels like a wrecking ball, smashing tables, driving people with a whip, devastating the Pharisees with a word, taming the winds with an uplifted hand, toppling a detachment of armed soldiers simply by speaking His name. He never cajoles; He commands! Christ is powerful, dangerous and unpredictable. Teachers, present Christ the man. Men will follow.
David Murrow, Why Men Hate Going to Church, p. 183
