Jesus: the WHY

Why did Jesus come into our world, then?

Jesus: the Drunk!?

 People said Jesus was a drunk!

Jesus: earliest days (v3)

Jesus : the early years - by Luke (1&2); +

 

Embryo; newborn; infant; boy: Reading Luke is a good starting point to know Jesus.

Jesus: The Good (?)[?]

I think we all heard stories of brave heroines and heroes who had to undertake an enormous challenge, to achieve something big, or something impossible, to complete a great task, if they were to gain..... 

JESUS: According to __

"According to...." : or, "Jesus, according to ......". The noun that follows can be problematic! Large implications in the answer. It is a big question and I aim to do it some justice, albeit briefly. 

INTERPRETATION!

Cherry-pick from the Bible?

Jesus: Made SIN

For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Jesus - Family - Opposition

Just how did opposition to Jesus emerge, when, and why? It is self-evident that a Temple-observant and synagogue attending tradesman from the back roads would be known by few. Surely Jesus lived and worked in Nazareth as a young man, well-regarded by folk (so, Luke 2). When Jesus was about 30, came the call of John the Baptist and Jesus’ acceptance of John’s baptism of repentance.   

Then something changed.

Questions, Mary's, etc

When we first meet Mary, mother of Jesus, she had questions, spoken or (assumed) unspoken.
