Jesus of the Gospels vs. Jesus of the Church
June 16th, 2006
I ran across a great post from a fellow Christian who uses some text by C.S. Lewis to make us all think about how much society and the church have given us a one-sided view of Christ.
“I came across an interesting passage in the C. S. Lewis biography I have been reading. Prior to his conversion to Christianity, Lewis was a thorough-going atheist who strongly resisted the biblical depiction of God and particularly of Christ. As he began opening his mind to Christianity, he started to read the Gospels and was surprised by the depiction of Jesus he found there. The Jesus he encountered there was not at all the Jesus the church and society had led him to believe could be found there.”
