Jesus offered the most just system possible in an unjust world.

The belief that “Good people go to heaven” sounds nice on the surface. But it doesn’t make sense.

People ultimately weren’t convinced to follow Jesus because of what he taught. They became convinced because of what they saw. The resurrection of Jesus is not a Bible story—it is the story. It’s the reason we have a Bible. Not only did Jesus’s resurrection make sense of his crucifixion, it made sense of God’s love for the whole world. Jesus’s secret ambition was to die so we could live. His resurrection means that he is who he claimed to be—a Savior, peace with God, a reason to believe and follow, and a reason to believe he is a King worth following.

Jesus didn’t ask for people to just believe in him. He invited people to follow him.

Being right doesn’t give us the right to be self-righteous.

Love for God is demonstrated by love for others.

Whatever your next step is, take it. You don’t know what hangs in the balance.

Admirers of Jesus didn’t shape civilization. The doers did.

Christians are not expected to believe based solely on a collection of ancient manuscripts. The foundation of our faith is anchored to something far more substantial and sustainable.

If you’re grateful for your local church but not engaged, now is the time.
