The rich brother needs to let the gospel humble him while the poor brother needs to let the gospel affirm him.

Occasionally God rips aside the veil, and you begin to see this very fact: All things happen for you. All things. Everything is knit together.

Christ literally walked in our shoes and entered into our affliction. Those who will not help others until they are destitute reveal that Christ's love has not yet turned them into the sympathetic persons the gospel should make them.

If you aren't constantly astonished at God's grace in your solitude, there's no way it can happen in public.

God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.

Sin is not just breaking the rules, it is putting yourself in the place of God as Savior, Lord, and Judge… There are two ways to be your own Savior and Lord. One is by breaking all the moral laws and setting your own course, and one is by keeping all the moral laws and being very, very good.

God's reckless grace is our greatest hope.
