Christianity is not an invitation to become a moral person or a program to get us into a reforming society
Christianity begins with an invitation to desire
What do you want me to do for you? - Luke 18:41
Jesus continually took people into their hearts - to their deepest desires
What does Jesus choose to talk about with the women at the well?
Her immorality? No
He speaks to her about thirst - John 4:10
Lets talk about your heart's thirst since the life you've chosen isn't working
All you who are thirsty, come to the waters - Isaiah 55:1-2
Message had gotten lost by the time Jesus' showed up
Jew of the day were practicing soul-killing, lifeless religion of duty and obligation
No wonder Jesus was feared. He came along and started appealing to desire
To the lost - Jesus spoke of finding your way
To the weary - Jesus speaks of rest
Again and again Jesus took them back to their desires
Ask and it will be given to you - Matthew 7:7
What is it that you want? - Would have fallen on deaf ear if his message was unrelateable
