#81 - Kyle Thompson // Fierce Intention, Part 1

The Daily Blade: Joby Martin & Kyle Thompson

We're continuing our exploration of Jesus's personality using John Eldredge's "Beautiful Outlaw," focusing on the fierce intentionality of Christ that's often overlooked in typical portrayals.
• Using Matthew 16:21-23 to introduce Jesus's forceful rebuke to Peter: "Get behind me, Satan"
• Examining the context of Jesus's ministry taking place in enemy territory, not just peaceful pastoral settings
• Understanding Jesus's response at Lazarus's tomb through the original Greek, which describes him as "snorting with anger like a war horse"
• Analysis of Jesus's commanding voice when raising Lazarus—described as loud as a violent storm
• Realizing Jesus deliberately chose to command with power and authority rather than using a calm approach
• Connecting Jesus's willingness to "get loud" with our own need to be forceful when confronting darkness
Join us tomorrow for part two of "Fierce Intention" where we'll be covering some of our favorite stories in the Bible.
