Mere nails, though pounded deep, were not enough to keep Jesus on the cross. But love was... and love prevailed.
Life comes from death. To the degree that I can live in the death of Jesus - to that degree I can channel God's life to others.
God is not a taker. God is a giver.
God always gets the glory when Jesus comes.
It is because of our foolishness that we forget who God is.
Not going to give casual worship to a God of extravagant beauty and grace!
