Many people today have created a convenient version of Jesus who never challenges us or makes us uncomfortable. However, the biblical Jesus was far more demanding than our modern image suggests. He told the rich young man to sell everything, called crowds wicked, and rebuked dinner hosts. Jesus operated as King, not as someone seeking our approval. He intentionally delayed helping Lazarus and called Peter Satan after blessing him. Following the real Jesus means abandoning our personal agendas and accepting His lordship, even when it's inconvenient or challenging.
