The fewer preconceptions we bring when reading the Gospels, the more clearly shall we see the living Christ as he really is. It is all too easy to believe in a Jesus who is largely a construction of our own imagination - an inoffensive person whom no one would really trouble to crucify. But the Jesus Christ whom we meet in the Gospels, far from being an inoffensive person, gave offense at every opportunity. Even his loyal followers found him, at times, thoroughly disconcerting. He upset all established notions of religious propriety constantly. He spoke of God in terms of intimacy which sounded like blasphemy. He seemed to enjoy the most questionable company. His Path hardly made/makes sense to the religious people of his/our time.
