But I'm not sure which one is more important. I think it's a combination of the two. If you are like Jesus, I think there will be some attention on you. But at the same time, it's completely believable that someone is like Jesus, but no one pays attention to them because they do not appeal in a culturally relevant way. What I mean by that is, if people can not see the principles and meanings behind what it is that you are trying to communicate, then you're not really reaching anyone. When the prophets spoke, it was in a way that the people would understand what they were trying to say. They were culturally relevant (when it came to looming destruction). Jesus himself was a "wow" man to some extent. Perhaps not in the way we might all imagine, but He was someone who people were drawn to. So in my own conclusion, it's a combination of both those things. Being Jesus is the first priority to us all, but part of being a preacher is being able to communicate in a way that is meaningful to the recipients. Now that does not mean they will always agree with you, but at least they understand what you're trying to say... Of which you do great Mike, no worries. :)N.R.
