Too Wise For Our Own Good

Jesus was crucified on a cross because it seemed foolish that a carpenter from Nazareth could be the son of God and savior of the world. Religious leaders of the time created their own ideas of what the coming messiah would look like. Jesus did not fit the bill. God provided hundreds of very specific prophecies as to who and how the messiah would come into the world and though Jesus would fulfill every single one, he was put to death by the "wise" and "intelligent" leaders. So, how does your "wisdom" blind your view of God? Does salvation need to look a certain way in order for you to buy in? This episode explores the link between those who crucified Christ and our own need for God to do things our way.
