Jesus: Squishy, feel-good, non-confrontational leader?

Over the years I've returned again and again and, yes, again to the popular conception - even among Christians - of Jesus as a nice guy.

Since it is a topic to which I will likely have to return again and again and, yes, again in the future because far too many simply will not open their Bibles and read even one of the Gospels, I was pleased today to see this tweet from Sister Miriam James:

If Jesus was just a squishy, feel-good, non-confrontational leader, then He wouldn't have been crucified, everyone would have loved Him.

I may have to start using this line in the future.
