"Everyone admires Jesus, but almost no one takes Him seriously... We can only conclude that Jesus is universally popular today because He is universally misunderstood... the teachings of Christ are wholly contrary to the beliefs of the modern world. The spiritual philosophy underlying the kingdom of God is radically opposed to that of civilized society. In short, the Christ of the New Testament and the world of mankind are so sharply opposed to each other as to amount to downright hostility. To achieve a compromise is impossible." *A. W. Tozer*
