 WHAT WOULD JESUS THINK OF THE CHURCH? Delighted that his teaching has been faithfully kept alive for two millennia, and is embraced by 2 billion people across the world. Maybe. Or horrified that his radical vision of what life can be has been distorted into a backward-looking institution, complete with its own bureaucracy. How you answer the question says more about your own opinion of the church than Jesus'. One thing we can safely say is that Jesus was unsparingly critical of the religious establishment of his time, and even had some harsh words for his own followers, so he'd be bound to pick a fight with some of those who are part of the church today. But whom, and over what issues? Who can say? More questions about Jesus' teaching |
