In this five-week series, Criticizing Jesus: The Words of Jesus, we will look at the criticisms Jesus faced during his ministry. What does each criticism reveal about Jesus’s character, priorities, authority, and mission?
Today we start a new series on the criticisms that Jesus faced. A survey of the Gospels will show you that Jesus took a lot of criticism: from Pharisees, from scribes, from Herodians, from Romans, even from members of his own family. Some of the criticism was surprisingly harsh, and yet he kept preaching and
teaching the kingdom and being obedient to God. Each criticism of Jesus gives us a unique perspective on his life and ministry.
