Stumbling Blocks: The Scandal of Particularity

Throughout his ministry Jesus claimed to be the messiah of Israel. These claims frequently made people angry, scandalized them, and played a role in his crucifixion. His claims are still scandalous today. The church proclaims a unique and particular message: one man, Jesus, was God in the flesh. We must all come to terms with the ‘scandal of particularity,’ for in and through Jesus, God is at work to bless the whole world.
