Luke 2:22-40

Simeon on the Polarizing Effects of JesusAs His followers, there’s a strong possibility that whatever thoughts, opinion and reactions people have towards Jesus, well, they’ll have those same responses towards us!  Align yourself with Christ, and there’s bound to be some controversy!  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez is studying the gospel of Luke, looking at the polarizing effects of Jesus.  As Christians, we shouldn’t be surprised when opposition comes our way.  But don’t worry, there’s some encouragement in that as well!

Simeon on the Polarizing Effects of JesusAsk ten people, “Who is Jesus?” and you’ll likely receive ten different answers.  There’s still disagreement about who this carpenter was … and is!  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez turns our attention to a vivid description of the person and purpose of Jesus, from the lips of a wise, old prophet.  

Simeon on the Polarizing Effects of Jesus Jesus is a polarizing figure in our world today.  Some people love and revere Him as Savior, Messiah, and King.  But others view Christ as a delusional prophet or a misinformed martyr.  On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez explains that the controversy surrounding Christ is nothing new.  From the day He was born, Jesus challenged people’s perceptions.  We’ll look at what an old priest had to say about this unique child today.
