The cross is the place where we find the freedom to accept ourselves without being proud and to challenge ourselves without being crushed.

Jesus was much more interested in the quality of the people's response to him than in the quantity of the crowd.

It's impossible to have met the real Jesus and be indifferent. You either bow down in wonder OR go away offended.

Forgiveness always comes at a cost to the one granting the forgiveness. To not retaliate is to absorb the cost.

Are you living to justify yourself, or are you living because you are justified?

Every other religion points to answers. Jesus, though, says 'I am the answer'.
