Reframing Jesus, Part 2: "The Redeemer" // Bryan Shelley
About This Series
Many people in first-century Israel had expectations that the Promised One would be a conquering king, a strict enforcer, or a political liberator. But Jesus shattered these assumptions, revealing Himself as a humble servant, a compassionate healer, and a friend to the outcast. Two thousand years later, many people still misunderstand who Jesus truly is. This Christmas, we’ll explore common misconceptions about the Messiah and uncover the powerful truths of His mission, offering a fresh perspective on the Savior who defied expectations and changed the world.
This Week's Episode
Many expected the Messiah to be a political leader or warrior who would overthrow Roman rule, establish an earthly kingdom and restore Israel to its former glory. Yet Jesus’ mission was not to establish an earthly kingdom through force, but to liberate humanity from the bondage of sin and death, offering spiritual redemption and eternal life.
