  2. As the writer to the Hebrews affirms, what makes the Christian gospel so much better is that we are no longer dealing with “types and shadows."
  3. Maybe, just maybe, our goal for 2023 should not be to live more but to die more.
  4. Despite our best efforts to avoid him, King Jesus remains very much unavoidable.
  5. To trust in the Lord, the Messiah, the Deliverer, is our salvation and our only hope. Yet he does not trust us to have this “trust” on our own or of our own will.
  6. Who would ever want all these screamers and haters? It turns out that Christ does.
  7. For with God we look not for the order of nature, but rest our faith in the power of him who works.
  8. We live again, not so that we will now pay our debt, but to proclaim that we live because our debt was paid!
  9. We don’t start with behavior and work toward Christ. We start with Christ and everything works out from there.
  10. Even though All Saints is a day for remembering the dead, it is not a day of mourning.
  11. Logos theology is a theology of presence without division. It is a way of unification, of which the incarnation is the greatest visible example.
