In this mindest (postmodern), being a Christian mena being a nice person who loves people no matter what their lives are like by trying to identify with their cultural experiences and perspectives in a non judgemental and empathetic manner. What is lacking, however, is the understanding that when we next see Jesus, he will not appear as a humble, marginalised Galilean peasant. Rather we will see the exalted, tattoed King of Kings comeing with fire blazing in his eyes and a sword launching from his mouth, with which to make war upon the unrepentant. Until the day of Jesus’ second coming, we are not merely to relate to people but also to command them to repent of sin and bend their knee to the King before they are grapes crushed under his foot in the winepress of his fury.
