Reflections Along the Jesus Way
September 17, 2024 – Quote for the Day:
“Never forget that the book of Revelation tells us about Jesus knocking on the door of his church – not just any old church that is not even Christian – but his church (Revelation 3:20). Jesus tells us he is on the outside of one of his own churches, seeking entrance! He wants that door to be opened so that light can enter, so the fresh wind of God’s grace may flood the church and drive out the toxic fumes of legalism and authoritarianism.
A man named George McLeod once wrote that Jesus was not crucified in a cathedral between two candles, but on a cross between two thieves, on the town garbage dump where cynics talk smut, thieves curse and soldiers gamble.”
