A Strange Christ

Luke 24:18 - Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass....

How big is the schism between God and the world? Even those who understood who Christ was did not recognize Him. They have seen His power, His person, and His work first yet He became a "stranger." How is it that the most popular man in the world was a "stranger?" What blindness overcomes a sinner that knows not Christ. Our preaches must preach Christ and abandon the notion of preaching an experiential gospel based off of hurt feelings and past issues. The gospel is that causes true change is that of Jesus Christ. Shall we not preach Him? Saints shall we not testify of Him? I recently attended a service where saints had nothing to say of the goodness God. Where is our vigor or has He become a stranger?
