Sunwest Fc's Weekly Sermon Podcast

In the famous book series The Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis represents Jesus as the Lion named Aslan. At one point it is stated that this Lion is good, but not safe. In Mark chapter 2, we have a series of conflicts that centre around Jesus. It is clear that being and doing good does not result in safety but in conflict. Jesus, when He brings the kingdom of heaven to earth, steps into conflict, which will ultimately pave the way to His own crucifixion. The disciples will be called to follow Him but they (and we) must beware, although Jesus is truly good, He is not safe.
