It is because Jesus Christ experienced cosmic thirst on the cross that you and I can have our spiritual thirst satisfied. It is because he died that we can be born again. And he did it gladly. Seeing what he did and why he did it will turn our hearts away from the things that enslave us and toward him in worship. That is the gospel, and it is the same for skeptics, believers, insiders, outcasts, and everyone in between.
Timothy KellerJesus was much more interested in the quality of the people's response to him than in the quantity of the crowd.
Timothy KellerJesus says, "I want you to follow me so fully, so intensely, so enduringly that all other attachments in your life look weak by comparison"
