Zoroastrianism? Oh, thereās never been but a few hundred thousand of them at any one time, mostly located in Iran and India, but thatās it. The one true faith. If youāre not a Zoroastrian, Iām afraid you are bound for Hell.āThe man looked stunned and shocked. “It’s not fair.” The demon gave a mirthful laugh. āWell, it was fair when you were sending all the Chinese to Hell who had never heard of Jesus. Wasnāt it?

The moment God is figured out with nice neat lines and definitions, we are no longer dealing with God.

God does not patch up the old life,or make certain repairs on the old life;He gives a new life, through the new birth.

I see the Christian world like this: we’ve inherited a divided map of the truth, and each of us has a piece. Our traditions teach us that no one else has a valid map and that our own church’s piece shows us all the terrain and roads that exist. In fact, there is much more terrain, more roads, and more truth for us to see if we can accept and read one another’s maps, fitting them together to give us a clearer picture of the larger Christian tradition.
What we believe about God is the most important truth we believe, and it’s the one truth that does the most to shape us. God is the Sun too bright for us to see. Jesus is the Prism who makes the colors beautiful and comprehensible.
For to speak the truth, there are but few that care thus to spend their time, but choose rather to be speaking of things to no profit.

The gifts of the Master are these: freedom, life, hope, new direction, transformation, and intimacy with God. If the cross was the end of the story, we would have no hope. But the cross isn’t the end. Jesus didn’t escape from death; he conquered it and opened the way to heaven for all who will dare to believe. The truth of this moment, if we let it sweep over us, is stunning. It means Jesus really is who he claimed to be, we are really as lost as he said we are, and he really is the only way for us to intimately and spiritually connect with God again.

We sinned for no reason but an incomprehensible lack of love, and He saved us for no reason but an incomprehensible excess of love.
