Quotes About Jesus

But this book is not a theology of kingdom, nor an exposition of the kingdom passages in the Bible. No, it is simply a meditation on what Jesus meant when he called us to "seek first his kingdom." What does it really look like to expand everything our lives contain to touch the size of his kingdom?

Dependency means living, as a leader, as if I really do believe that my walk with God is a community project. It means that because of the blinding power of remaining sin, I give up on the belief that no one knows me better than I know myself.

It was a high and holy calling, and it was the only way.

The Bible is the grand biography of the Lord Jesus Christ. Perhaps it is more accurate to say that the Bible is the annotated story of the Lord Jesus Christ, that is, his story with God's essential explanatory and applicatory notes.

You simply cannot make sense of Scripture without the person and work—the grace—of the Lord Jesus Christ.

for Jesus the Spirit-filled prophet, the focus of his life and relationships was the Reign of God. That meant that he was not—as his followers have often been—church-centered.

In China, the greatest miracles we see are not the healings or other things, but lives transformed by the gospel.
