Most nights when we go to the YMCA to exercise, a certain television show is on one of the screens. It is called “So, You think you can Dance?” I will reserve my opinion of the show. Also, we have been studying the book Radical, by David Platt. My brain somehow put these two together.
If you want to be like Jesus, please consider the following scripture:
a) They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff.
b) When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”
c) At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.
d) Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him,
e) When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”
f) and they schemed to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him.
g) Every day he was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him.
h) Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him.
i) And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.”
j) When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left.
