We begin a study of N.T. Wright's Simply Jesus: Who He Was, What He Did and Why He Matters. We start by introducing Wright's central point, Jesus is God, the ruler of all creation and his overall mission inaugurated that kingdom--on earth as in heaven, and is much more than a distant figure in some ethereal dimension but active in this world today. We begin by looking at the how Christ was the center of a "perfect storm" in 1st Century Judea and Galilee, colliding with the political authority of the Roman Empire and the religious and cultural authority of the Temple leaders. We discuss how Jesus, through words and action, made it clear that he was the Messiah and King promised by the prophets, and how radically different his Kingdom would be from worldly powers.
