This concludes our very short 3-part series on the things we don’t talk about.

Jesus Christ – did you already guess that would be our topic?
Is the name of Christ the ultimate taboo? Are you already squirming and feeling uncomfortable? Have I broached the ultimate forbidden subject?
Please note:
I did not say, “Religion.”
Nor did I say, “Christianity,” “church” or “evangelical.”
Jesus Christ, the one whose name means “the Anointed One.”
Who was He, historically? What was His original message?
Was His message only for a certain people and a certain era? Was it for individuals or for nations?
- What was the impact of His message on individuals and on the peoples of His era?
- How do you know?
Do any parts of His message apply to us today?
- Which parts?
- How do you know?
How should we respond? What might be the impact?
How will you respond?
