On the cross Jesus was treated as an outcast so that we could be brought into God's family freely by grace.

When we grasp that we are unworthy sinners saved by an infinitely costly grace, it destroys both our self-righteousn ess and our need to ridicule others.

If you come from insignificance and when you die you return to insignificance, then nothing is significant now.

God's grace and forgiveness, while free to the recipient, are always costly for the giver.

Truth is more important, freedom is more complex, and Jesus is more liberating than you think.

In the secular view, suffering is never seen as a meaningful part of life but only as an interruption.

The Christian gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me.
