OFFENSIVE

It is popular talking point among progressive Christians that Jesus often offended the religious-types of his day. 

And it is true that He greatly offended the Jewish leaders. He called them whitewashed tombs and snakes and told them they were the children of Satan. And made them mad enough to plot His death.

But Jesus offended lots of other people too. He told them they should stop sinning. That they were under God's condemnation and could expect His wrath. That they had little faith. That they were blind and deaf. 

And the common people didn't plot his death, but they were fine with the plan.
