Reflections Along the Jesus Way
June 27, 2024 – Quote for the Day:
“In the days of Christ, and before, pagan gods were thought to interact with humans on earth, but their real interests – their real domain – was ‘up there.’ Theirs was a celestial kingdom – their power and actions affected humans on earth, but normally not in a positive way. The Bible insists there is only one true God and that out of his love for us, in Christ he became a human being, becoming one of us. Further, in Christ, he did not curse or kill humans, but instead he himself was crucified, as the ultimate demonstration of his love.
Then, at the end of time as we know it, when God makes all things new, he doesn’t take humans away from the earth, but instead he brings heaven down to earth. And most importantly, the foundation of the kingdom of God, both now and in the future, is his grace. God establishes his kingdom for us, by his grace, in the person of Jesus Christ.”
