Jesus

"Christ will never be cool. Terrifying, life-changing, shocking, and iconoclastic, but never cool. Jesus is not my homeboy. The Gospel will always be "relevant" but never trendy." - Jon Foreman

I think this is really important to bear in mind. So often when we evangelise, we try and make God "cool", and in the process, we make Him a lot smaller than He really is. We try to fit Him into our little worldly definition of "cool", when He's so much bigger than that. Jesus has never been cool. Jesus wasn't cool when He was on earth.. He was despised and mocked. He suffered. He was murdered. He was not cool or popular or trendy. He is our Lord and Saviour, Messiah, King of kings.
