Sunday Sermon: Jesus the Mystic

Hey, everyone! Jason here. I was in the car for 10 hours yesterday and had bursts of conversation with God. I took some notes to share with you. This one is a little out there and might stretch some of my evangelical friends. Please stick with me. I think you'll like where we end up.

In this talk, I discuss:

• The need to separate Jesus the first-century teacher from the religious icon passed down to us.
• The first century understanding of some of Jesus' key teachings.
• What forgiveness and loving our enemies really look like.
• The value of surrender
• What it really means to be "woke".

I hope you'll find this talk helpful. If so, please let me know. I'd love to hear from you in the comments at MessySpirituality.org.
