Jesus Christ (48)
Filter by:
  1. You and I have a God who pardons all our wrongdoing by taking all of them onto himself. He doesn’t zap us into oblivion at the first sign of rebellion.
  2. Jesus’s touch of this leper is the touchstone of the gospel itself. It’s a living parable of his entire ministry.
  3. The hope of Scripture is the glad tidings of the Lord’s “sudden and miraculous grace” which reverses the catastrophes of Eden.
  4. There is not a soul who crosses the threshold of the sanctuary who is excluded from the message of the gospel of forgiveness.
  5. There is a power that is stronger and mightier than the power of separation in death. And that power is the power of God’s love for you and me.
  6. The Gospels function like literary essays, composed with a specific thesis and purpose in mind. Each account of Jesus’s life acts as a treatise to show us something about the person and work of the Savior.
  7. God is not an impassive monster who is unfamiliar with our horrendous ailments. Rather, in Christ, God familiarizes himself with our suffering and becomes particularly attuned to the fragility of fallen humanity.
  8. Unlike any mortal legal representative, our divine Attorney does not perform an inquiry to ensure our case is worth taking. He secures no retainer from us prior to advocating for our vindication.
  9. Every time the Scriptures are opened, we are repeating this scene. Every time the gospel is preached, we are replicating a moment wherein the faithless ones are greeted by their faithful Lord.
  10. When Jesus preaches the gospel, he is preaching himself. Jesus’s good news is the good news about himself.
  11. Having the assurance that perfect righteousness has already been gifted to you is, perhaps, the leading spiritual scuffle in which every believer is entangled.
  12. This love will not cease. It cannot be stopped. It cannot be tamed. It is love unsought. Before you lift a pinky in repentance, it has already come to you.
