Jesus does not just bring good news; he is the good news.

God made you to love him supremely, but he lost you. He returned to get you back, but it took the cross to do it. He absorbed your darkness so that one day you can finally and dazzlingly become your true self and take your seat at his eternal feast.

In the christian view, the ultimate evidence for the existence of God is Jesus Christ. If there is a God, we characters in his play have to hope that he put some information about himself in the play. But Christians believe he did more than give us information. He wrote himself into the play as the main character in history, when Jesus was born in a manger and rose from the dead.

When we worry we are saying, 'I know the way my life is supposed to go, and God's not getting it right'.

If your god never disagrees with you, you might just be worshipping an idealized version of yourself.

Cities have more “image of God” per square inch than anywhere else, and so we must not idealize the country as somehow a more spiritual place than the city.

Most people want Jesus as a consultant rather than a King, and He does not come that way.
