TOPIC INDEXJesus Christ (152)
  1. When we try to create meaning for our lives or transform Jesus into a mere example, the Holy Spirit comes to us, with a preacher in hand, ready to unleash a sermon like Louis Armstrong blasting out "When The Saints Go Marching In" on his trumpet.
  2. The forgiveness of sin in Jesus' name changes the way we move, and live, and exist.
  3. Jesus wouldn't allow religious people to determine his identity, define his mission, or put him in a safe, predictable religious box.
  4. By the blood of the Lamb God's people are given salvation and comfort. We're rescued from hopelessness.
  5. No matter who or what chooses us as their enemy, we've received God's promise that there's nothing to fear. He will be our Light and Salvation. He will be our strength.
  6. Sin will constantly break our hearts, but God's love in Christ Jesus will give us new hearts daily, in the abundance of his forgiving grace. This is love in its purest form, and he has overcome the world.
  7. God and love are synonymous. Any talk about love that is not talk about Jesus is, at most, a half-truth.
  8. We all share a common hope. The same hope that converted Augustine, drove Martin Luther out of the monastery and calls horrible sinners to new life every day.
  9. We're ALL sinners in need of a Savior. We're all saints whose Savior forgives ALL our sin. We're all the same in relation to Christ crucified for the sin of the world.
  10. His resurrection reveals that Jonah, and all of us, even the evilest people, are salvageable, even from suicide, in Jesus' death and resurrection.
  11. The easiest way for us to contend with our sin is to become an agent of sin. We slice and cut others to pieces for all the world to see.
  12. We don't have to worry about making progress towards God because he's already come to us, named us as his own, and promises to never leave or forsake us.
