Jesus Christ (1232)
Filter by:
  1. Every day, in everything we do and experience, we are busy hearing, seeing, and telling stories.
  2. We don’t need to make forgiveness, life, and salvation a hard sell.
  3. Far too many Christians read the Bible as if a dam has been built between the waters of the Old Testament and the New Testament.
  4. I had been taught and believed in a God who is love, but as I walked outside that night I did not see him. I saw the stars and I felt their indifference.
  5. I wish I was better at seeing the bigger picture. Or maybe, I wish I was simply better at seeing the larger scope of its beauty.
  6. Rather than validate our selfish, self-serving choices, he justifies us by giving us new life and baptizing us into his death and resurrection.
  7. The distinction between Christ-for-you and Christ-in-you can present a misleading dichotomy.
  8. I like to think of Jesus as a mischievous badger. Gillespie and Riley again read and discuss C.S. Lewis' The Joyful Christian. This episode, the Incarnation. Do we go far enough with Jesus' incarnation, to where He wants us to go with him?
  9. Jesus and the New Testament—good. Yahweh and the Old Testament—not really so good. So goes the popular, but largely whispered, dichotomy.
  10. Jesus doesn’t talk about God’s love for us; he embodies it.
  11. It’s inconceivable! Gillespie and Riley continue to read and discuss Robert Capon’s “The Mystery of Christ... and why we don’t get it.” Faith, works, and more Christian absurdity.
  12. We confuse our success and failures with God’s judgment of us.
