Recently somebody I know posted a pic on twitter of Jesus with a bandolier and a gun, and a smoke which we all know Jesus didn't smoke, but this pix inspired me, I thank him for posting. This leaves me with the question of how does the general public picture Jesus, more importantly how does the church portray Jesus, it seams that the perception of Christ is passive sort of wimpish, a push over, but if we read the bible we know this to be inaccurate Christ was passionate, a teacher, a warrior for the kingdom of God, a good example of this is Mark 11:15-17 this shows the passionate side and the warrior side at the same time, shows how Jesus was willing to stand up for what was right and run the money changers out of the temple, this is just one example. So let's be careful to how we portray the image of Jesus to people we come in contact with.
