We are in a message series called doubting God and today I want to talk about one of the big reasons why some people

doubt God or maybe I should say they doubt Christianity

When you think about it

One of the reasons that people doubt isn't because of the way that Jesus lives

They don't doubt Christianity because of the way that Jesus loved

The reason that so many people might doubt Christianity is because of what Jesus claimed and

Let me try to explain you probably noticed that in our culture today you can talk about God and you can talk about

Spirituality and there's not going to be a lot of controversy and athlete at the end of winning some kind of match or game can

Lift up the trophy and say I thank God and then by go

A celebrity can say I've been praying to God and nobody freaks out

You can talk about God or you can talk about spirituality and there's not a lot of controversy but when you bring up the name of

Jesus

Things often get tense quickly and it's interesting when you think about it because almost everyone actually

likes Jesus

You don't have to be a Christian to like the guy that loves sinners

I mean he was amazing and gracious to people and he spent time with the poor and he he humbled

oppressive leaders who took advantage of widows and he went to parties and he

Restocked the wine barrels at parties and he multiplied a boy's lunch and had it all you can eat picnic on the side of a mountain

People like how Jesus lived they like how he loved they just don't like the exclusive claims

And when you think about it and when you objectively look at Jesus

Let's just say you're not even a Christian, but you just look at Jesus you have to admit he was ridiculously humble

The guy would wash the feed of his own disciples
