Contradiction

Surprisingly, God is a God of contradiction in that he is always about contradicting what the enemy will have you believe and proving to you the contrary.

Jesus always reveals a different path, contradicting the establishment and its way of doing things. He always brings a different perspective and challenges the religious systems that keep men bound and oppressed. He exposes their corruption and sinful hearts by contradicting the scholars and religious leadership in their worldview.

Jesus even contradicted, at times, the world's natural laws by stilling the storm and walking on water.

Constantly confronted hopeless situations and offered solutions to desperate people, Jesus revealed his heart of love. His biggest contradiction was showing love to this fallen, corrupted, hopeless world. 

Jesus proved his love by dying on the cross, taking all our sins and punishment and rising again to justify those who believe in him. This was indeed the most extravagant example of love ever shown and the most significant contradiction to the world's way ever stated. 

So let God show you his perspective and, in your faith, contradict the world's way of doing things. Live your life in faith and worship of him who loves you and gave his life for you. 

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God Romans 5:1-2

 Now, when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him.  And suddenly, a great tempest arose on the sea so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. 25 Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!" But He said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.  So the men marvelled, saying, "Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?" Matthew 8:23-27
