You'll be surprised at the one requirement Jesus had for his initial leaders. And this trait is not valued by most of the Christian church.

Religion often implies that God doesn't think much of you. But, Jesus Christ made several amazing statements about you that you need to know about.

In Jesus' day many religious leaders, in his view, did not know God. It's the same today.

God cancelled the law and nailed it to the cross of Jesus. (Col. 2:15) But many in religion don't realize that. God is not into the law, God is into grace.

The Jesus found in the gospels is a lot different than the Jesus often portrayed by some in organized religion. There were super religious people in Jesus' day that thought they were more holy than Jesus was. Imagine that!
