Basically everyone is OK with the concept of God – a higher power who is over everything. But say the name of Jesus and a line is drawn in the sand. This is because Jesus demands a decision. You will either respond to Jesus or you will reject Him. There is no middle ground.
Jesus reminds us we are sinners who need a Savior. Yes, Jesus loves us more than we can ever imagine. But Jesus is also pure and holy and demands we repent of our sin and follow Him not only as Savior, but Lord. It is not PC to say there is only one way to God and it is through the person of Jesus Christ. It is also not PC to tell people about the sin in their lives.
As leaders, our response to Jesus will be the number one determinant to our success.
