"Jesus had been, and always will be, a threat to the established order of things. This should no longer suprise us today. Two thousand years of church history should suggest that the movement of Jesus is most dangerous when it is opposed. It should not suprise us that some in our culture find an innocuous "Merry Christmas" or bland nativity scene offensive. Our world doesn't want to be remided of Christ - because he forces us to choose. In our just-do-it, have-it-all kind of world, the revolution of Jesus forces us to choose: Who is King? Who is Lord? What empire do you serve? What god do you bow down to?"
