Jesus' claims are particularly unnerving, because if they are true there is no alternative but to bow the knee to him.
Timothy KellerThose who believe they have pleased God by the quality of their devotion and moral goodness naturally feel that they and their group deserve deference and power over others. The God of Jesus and the prophets, however, saves completely by grace. He cannot be manipulated by religious and moral performance--he can only be reached through repentance, through the giving up of power. If we are saved by sheer grace we can only become grateful, willing servants of God and of everyone around us.
Timothy KellerWe deserve to be forgotten because we forget Him. But because Jesus died on the cross, we will never, ever be forgotten by God.
Timothy KellerHell is having to execute a pointless act from which nothing ever comes except the need to do it again.
