Be nice. Play nice. Yeah - we've all been told that. And being nice typically means speaking softly, deferring to others, and smiling (even when you're sad or angry). Most of all, being nice means avoiding conflict - don't debate or argue - just get along and go along. But what if Jesus was, in fact, NOT a nice man? And what if it's NOT in God’s character to “be nice” (certainly in ways WE think of the term)? What then? What if walking in the way of Jesus means standing up and speaking out? After all, nice guys aren't crucified.
