I love your description of a misfit God. It reminds me of the song by Larry Norman, the OUTLAW lyrics: Some say he was an outlaw, that he roamed across the land With a band of unschooled ruffians and few old fishermen No one knew just where he came from or exactly what he'd done But they said it must be something bad that kept him on the run VERSE 2 Some say he was a poet, that he'd stand upon the hill That his voice could calm an angry crowd and make the waves stand still That he spoke in many parables that few could understand But the people sat for hours just to listen to this man VERSE 3 Some say he was a sorcerer, a man of mystery He could walk upon the water, he could make a blind man see That he conjured wine at weddings and did tricks with fish and bread That he talked of being born again and raised people from the dead Guitar Solo VERSE 4 Some say a politician who spoke of being free He was followed by the masses on the shores of Galilee He spoke out against corruption, and he bowed to no decree And they feared his strength and power, so they nailed him to a tree VERSE 5 Some say he was the Son of God, a man above all men That he came to be a servant and to set us free from sin And that's who I believe he was, 'cause that's who I believe And I think we should get ready, 'cause it's time for us to leave

I have to agree with both statements of the “social media” post. We shouldn’t make it about us. But Christ in us - which is what Easter is all about is also very sanctifying. We shouldn’t as children of God continue to treat others bad like they treated Jesus. If our justification isn’t producing sanctification do we really know how justified we are? Christ says when we’re under Grace sin won’t have dominion over us. This doesn’t constitute back to legalism or self righteous living. But the Gospel DOES empower us to become more like Christ on the sanctification end as well. It’s almost weakening the Cross to say we can’t/wont improve.
