Jesus Is ___

When City Church did a sermon series on "Jesus Is ___" they decided to also connect with the communtiy by making the website Jesus Is. Visitors can finish the statement "Jesus Is ___" and the responses are displayed. Some responses were from Christians. Some not.


I thought it was interesting to see a mix of people who realise Jesus' difference from the habits of church people (as illustrated above) but also people who labelled Jesus in ways that contradict the gospel, but are probably based on the actions of churchgoers - that also contradict the gospel (eg "racist", "the reason for the war in iraq", "unreliable"). I find this kinda sad.
