Upon reading the sermon, one is at once struck by the severely daunting mental images crafted towards the singular end of striking fear and trepidation in the very listeners’ hearts.

Christ has set people free, but it is a freedom that lets love make one serve one another. To this end, Christ’s personal code of ethics shocked and stunned the Pharisees, who expected people to follow the letter of the law—whereas Jesus’s yoke was easy and his burden was light. Christ came to bring happiness and salvation—a true liberator.

Freedom of expression in Islamic views is different from that of the views of others.

I hoped I would learn more about the Bible so I could speak intelligently with people about the book that guides so many people’s lives. I was surprised by how much depth there was to the Bible.
