Found this clip from King of the Hill really interesting.

Is the problem that Jesus was too packaged-up with youth cultural baggage, or that the Dad wasn’t willing to accept a kind of Christianity because the culture around it was too alien to him?

What do you think? Was there a need for less contextualisation/inculturation or more tolerance of a different culture?

Thanks Rethinking Youth Ministry for the clip.

As a postscript: Does the church lose young people when they grow up because they grow out of the cultural fads that we’ve wrapped Jesus up in in trying to reach them, or because we fail to fully contextualise the gospel in a way that makes sense for their own culture?
