“Until the Good News of Jesus Christ burst onto the human scene,
the word love was understood mostly in terms of seeking one’s own advantage. Loving the unlovely was incomprehensible
A loving God reaching down to sinful humans was unthinkable.”

“Many people are willing to have Jesus as part of their lives—as long as it doesn’t cost them anything. They may even profess faith in Jesus and join a church. But Jesus to them is almost like an insurance policy—something they obtain and then forget about until they die. What keeps you from being His disciple?”
