Scott McKnight describing the Sermon on the Mount: “Jesus simply doesn’t think everyone wants to follow him; in fact, he thinks many don’t.” It’s obvious, and yet I don’t think I’ve ever heard it articulated before. Maybe this changes our instinct to try and “bludgeon” people into the kingdom who are quite certain that it’s not for them, and instead evangelise in a way more akin to offering truth rather than convicting sinners. Just a thought.
