Redemption (98)
  1. Our only hope in life and death is that God loves sinners, who fail and forget constantly, with a love that is just as constant.
  2. The God who abundantly restores is still in the business of total restoration, even today. Even now the God of heaven restores dead sinners to life.
  3. Every part of Jesus’ encounter with Mary Magdalene in John 20 was incredibly intentional and personal for God to systematically redeem what was lost.
  4. The world we inhabit is wrong in so many ways, and a holistic approach to this “wrongness” traces its cause both to sin itself and to the effects of sin.
  5. There is no other transitionary event in human history that warrants three full months of focused attention and persistent acknowledgment than the incarnation of the Son of God.
  6. When we — sinful, reprehensible we — become the enforcers of justice, we never bring about true justice. We either go too far or not far enough.
  7. As the body positivity movement has gained traction, we must also be aware of some of its pitfalls
  8. Through the often abominable and lamentable and occasional commendable season, there is one who remains unmoved by it all.
  9. When you walk into church on Sunday, you may not notice, but there are wounded soldiers sitting in every single pew.
  10. Jesus knows you and everybody else come from a long line of life wasters going all the way back to Adam. Jesus died for life wasters! Let go of your bootstraps. Stand back up. Your Father loves you.
  11. Salvation is not simply transactional; it is fundamentally relational. Not anemic, but full-blooded. Not disembodied, but bodied.
  12. He assumed the weakest form to do his greatest work.
