Mark Galli–Good News: Jesus is Not Nice: The chaos of grace and the grace of chaos

From Christianity Today online. Another thought-provoking piece from Mr. Galli.

Jesus refuses to be put in a religious box. He’s not a nice Savior, whose goal is to make us feel better about ourselves and become well-adjusted, productive members of society. All that is well and good, and it is part of our lot in life. But this is not the mission of Jesus. He’s not interested in nice, well-adjusted people, but mostly in people who forgive and love. And sometimes he has to bring a little chaos into our lives to help us become the people he’s called us to be.
