Distortion

My dictionary defines distortion as: change the form of (an electrical signal or sound wave) during transmission, amplification, or other processing What happens when Christ becomes distorted? I was listening to a question and answer time Engage had on Tuesday and it was interesting. There were 2 things brought up first was distortion. Over time our view of Christ has become distorted and that affects all aspects of our lives. When things become distorted we view Christ through a lens that isn't real, we think he's hateful and judgemental. They put it as (the basic paraphrase): God has had a little too much coffee and is out to get someone, often we think this in the south. The fear of God is what we believe in, but a healthy understanding of the fear of God would be "awe." We are in awe of God and his power when we realize our smallness in his bigness, that is fear. We have distorted the image of Christ in a big way and that affects our ability to be healed by his grace and power. Don't let it, don't let your view of Christ and God to be distorted into something Jesus is not.
