PARADOX: Jesus’ Counter-Intuitive Teachings
October – December 2011
What is paradox? According to G. K. Chesterton, paradox is “truth standing on its head and waving its legs to get our attention.” The way of Jesus is often full of paradox because it is radically different from the way of this world. Following Jesus requires us to seek and choose Jesus’ way as our way, no matter how counter-intuitive it might be. In this series, we are exploring Jesus’ paradoxical truths in the Gospels. So, come explore Jesus’ subversive teachings—put them into practice daily; and you will experience the transforming power of Jesus’ way!
