There are many facets to the character of Jesus that we can (and should) be preaching about, the victorious Christ, the Messiah, the humble King, the judge, the list goes on and on. The danger is that we can, if we are not careful, preach none of these or worse we can preach a different Jesus, the loser, the pushover, the irrelevant, the docile etc.
So before we preach lets look back on our notes and ask which Jesus the word we've prepared communicates, and if it is no Jesus or the wrong Jesus lets have the courage to start a fresh with the life giving Jesus.
