These days, Jesus is often portrayed as a pacifist, a philanthropist, or a docile teacher. He strikes a plastic - and sometimes pathetic - pose in the minds of many. Some prefer the meek and mild Jesus who heals the sick, calms fears, and speaks of peace and goodwill. These things do represent a portion of the Messiah.
