Assembling the Pieces of the Picture

About this episode

The episode discusses how misconceptions can lead to confusion about Jesus' purpose, using the metaphor of jigsaw puzzles to illustrate the need for clarity through Scripture.

Have you ever dumped two jigsaw puzzles into the same box? What a mess! Unless you sit down and carefully sort out the pieces nothing is going to make any sense when you try to put it all together. Ultimately, you're left with only confusion, frustration and disappointment. That’s certainly what two of Jesus’ followers were experiencing on the after of that first Easter. Trying to mix our own misconceptions with what we think Jesus should do for us often also leads to a jumbled picture of what God actually sent Him to accomplish. In love, Jesus clears up this picture by leading us back to Scriptures and the fulfillment of His promises at the cross and empty tomb of Easter.
