New Testament (57)
  1. The reign of Christ is cruciform. Jesus ushers in His reign through a cross. His reign is spread by those who follow Him bearing a cross.
  2. Identity is a gift from God given in Christ Jesus that forms our life as God’s people, that is, His Church.
  3. Jesus is showing us that prayer is not a cute, Precious Moments figurine in serene meditation, but a grueling wrestling match He wants you to win!
  4. Jesus rescues those who cry out in fear because that is how our God operates.
  5. Whatever it is He has, be it bread, compassion, mercy, or forgiveness, He will always be sure there is someone there to distribute it to the beggar in need.
  6. Jesus is the new Temple, the Good Shepherd, the door for the sheep. Jesus is the fulfilment of it all!
  7. That Jesus rose from the dead is surprising, but he doesn’t stop there. Jesus is constantly surprising us! He keeps showing up in the most surprising of places!
  8. Jesus’ story continues as He writes us into it, giving us the Holy Spirit to continue to spread the forgiveness of sins in the proclamation of the Gospel.
  9. The empty tomb. The risen Christ. Satan’s defeat. Forgiveness of sins. The beginning of the new creation. It has all built up to this. It all flows from this. Christ is risen, indeed! Alleluia!
  10. Faint of heart or strong, Advent finds us all in a world that shakes our faith and drives us to wonder about the work and promises of this God who claims to love us.
  11. The Baptizer is a prophet who has more of the Word of God in his pointer finger than most preachers have in their whole body!
  12. God chooses the foolish things of this world to shame the wise, the poor people of this world to shame the rich, he identifies with sinners and He cannot seem to get enough of those the world ignores.
