aka, 'The Travelling Rabbi Offends The Common Man And The Elites.'
We think of many adjectives when we think of Jesus, but do you think of 'demanding?' Do you think of 'offensive?' You will after today's passage.

Luke 11: 29 - 32 The Sign of Jonah
The Queen of Sheba was a non-Jew who heard the truth and came to believe. Throughout history, God has used the faith of Gentiles to shame Jews who have not believed. What if the Sign of Jonah refers to Jesus' teachings about hearing wisdom and repenting?

Romans 1:18 The wrath of God is revealed against all rebellion.
Romans 2:5 Stubbornness is in our hearts.
Ephesians 5:6 Don't let people deceive you - the wrath of God is coming.

Too much of modern teaching doesn't sound like what Jesus said. Like the scriptures, Jesus doesn't need us to polish up His image for a modern audience. Read it straight - preach Jesus as He is.

Luke 11:33 - 36 Put the light on the lampstand.
Religious duties are not to be performed hypocritically.

Luke 11:37 - 41 Doing the right thing on the outside and not the inside.
2 Cor. 9:7 
In modern America, one of the worst things you can do is hurt somebody's feelings.

John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life.
Matthew 7:13 - 14 The narrow gate and the wide gate.
2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the Gospel when people want to hear it, and when they don't.
