Bumping into a friend in the supermarket I asked him what his church was doing for Lent and he said that they were studying "the scary sayings of Jesus": he was writing something on Jesus' words to the rich young man "Go, sell all you have and give it to the poor, and you will have treasures in heaven." Hmm, yes, that is rather scary.
As I was walking back home I thought of so many of the words of Jesus which are so challenging that they are scary, in particular the words from the Lord's Prayer " forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" - I like to think that God will forgive me but I know that I'm not too good at forgiving other people.
What do you think was the most scary thing Jesus said? Any suggestions?
