When I first read this question I literally LOL’ed. ha-ha! My friend, Jesus was crazy in a lot of ways. He wasn’t just crazy but radical. He lived a crazy and radical lifestyle! Let me tell you a little bit about why Jesus was crazy, in a good way!2000 years ago when He came, He did all sorts of things that made the people not just scratched their heads but hated Him including the religious leaders. How and why? Well I’m not gonna go into too much details but basically He came and told everyone that He was the Son of God and obviously some believed and some didn’t. They thought He was crazy for saying that.
Next thing He did was He performed numerous signs & miracles. He healed the blind, the sick, the lame, the mute, and raised people to life. At the same time He was doing these things on a sabbath day which is suppose to be a day of rest and yet He’s healing and working and that’s what got the religious leaders so mad because He was breaking the Law. But Jesus was like, “should we do good or do evil on the sabbath day”? obviously they didn’t have an answer. lol
Later on He told everyone that whoever believes that He is the Son of God must repent, be baptized, follow Him and pick up their cross daily and of course to eat His flesh and drink His blood which we know that it’s not literally but symbolically by eating bread and wine and remembering His death and sacrifice on the cross.
During this time some people walked away and abandoned Him. They didn’t like what He was teaching them. One of His disciples betrayed Him. People were throwing stones at Him, spat on His face. He got brutally beaten, and yet there were still a few people that had the faith to believe and put their trust in Him.
The most radical and the most craziest thing about Jesus is that even though people hated Him and rejected Him, He went to the cross to die for all our sins. He endured all the wrath of God that was suppose to be for us. He could’ve asked all the angels to pick Him up and take Him up to the Father. But no, He was so set on His mission to make things right between us and the Father so in obedience to the Father He went to the cross. And because of His great love, crazy radical love, He endured it all.
Christ died for us at a time when we were helpless and sinful. 7 No one is really willing to die for an honest person, though someone might be willing to die for a truly good person. 8 But God showed how much he loved us by having Christ die for us, even though we were sinful. - Romans 5:6-8
My friend, if there’s anyone in this world that fits best for that description crazy, it would be Jesus. God the Son is radically in love with you and to those whom He died for. And that’s the truth. And as Christ-Followers we are to live a lives that are radically and crazy. Expect people to hate you, be jealous of you, judge you because you’re too radical and crazy about Jesus and your faith and that’s normal. We are not of this world because we are in Christ. Hope this helps! :)
In Christ,
Mark M.
