In the book “The Jesus You Can’t Ignore” John MacArthur wanted to show from scripture how the Jesus some of our current-day churches have minimized to a meek and mild Messiah is not the full portrayal of Jesus. He is certainly meek and mild, but He is also confrontational and did not allow distortion of truth to get in the way of the gospel message. This is made clear numerous times in the Gospels how he dealt with the Pharisees by and the old Jewish laws.
I found this to be a great book, the way the author laid out the Gospels to gain a better understand of how Jesus’ three year ministry progressed. Each chapter highlighted different miracles of Jesus, and then expounds on what was going on between the Pharisees and Jesus. I enjoyed MacArthur’s chapter on the Sermon on the Mount as he explained the meaning of Jesus’ points and why He was preaching those specific truths on that day.
If you’ve never read a book by John MacArthur, this would be a great book to start with. I would recommend this book. I believe it can help you to see Jesus from a different perspective, a part of His character that really cannot be ignored, and should not be overlooked.
