Who Are We?

Rebel, Renegade, Outlaw, Rulebreaker, troublemaker?

Who am I discussing? Probably not who you are thinking of. These words would have been used to talk about Jesus in the time He was on the earth. Jesus was a counterculture force that did not conform to the world in which He lived. Could that describe us? How are we living our lives? Who would call us a rebel?

To close, the lyrics from REBEL by Lecrae :)

Yeah. Just wanna die with a beat. Swim around in it. Let's rebel I'm in Rebellion (To all my rebels out there.) I'm in Rebellion (Rebelling against the culture. Being transformed. )I'm in Rebellion (Ya'll conformed to the ways of the world.Or this age.) I'm in Rebellion(Welcome to the revolution.) Jesus was a rebel, a renegade, outlaw A sanctified troublemaker, but He never sinned, naw And He lived His life by a different set of Rules

I'm in Rebellion(But everyone is sinning, so it is no longer rebellious to sin.)I'm in Rebellion (Jesus was a rebel that was a counter culture.)I'm in Rebellion No glory in meGlory to the King on the throne (Jesus) You either love Him or leave Him alone but you can't do both Yeah, I know you heard that once in a songI pray you hear 10 mo fo ya gone Hey listen up, holmesStage is the corner Crowd is the streets And I rap the bread of life cause they dyin' to eatI'm a rebel you know the kind that die in the street Cause you refuse to conform, won't eat the kings meat yeah Christ rebelled by shunning the cultured He eat with sinnersGivin' Pharasies ulcersHe never got married, He was broke plus homeless Yeah that's the God I role witya boy gotta wife and no I neva cheated I'm prayin' for humility whenever I get heatedForget about the drugs Rebel against pornography This ain't how it oughta be, homie This is how it's gotta be
