Perhaps in this case he's just referring to all those who espouse "Jesus was a great example"-related idolatries? But with respect, don't all the other aspects of His life and nature - His pre-existence with the Father, His resurrection and ascension, etc., matter in rebuking that argument too? If Jesus' death is the grandest point of view, then why not just celebrate Good Friday, and go enjoy bunnies and candy with the neighbors on Sunday?<br /><br />No doubt when I'm in heaven I'll be able to get better clarification. :)Rachael Starkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781158372237369417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-42793342317849155222010-09-05T11:42:09.101-07:002010-09-05T11:42:09.101-07:00You cant go wrong with Spurgeon.
