Faith is Awakening to the Light

Christ is the True Light 

who gives light to everyone in the world. 

Faith is an awakening to the light of 

Christ within us.

The Mystery of the Gospel

Christ is the image of the invisible God,

in whom all the fullness of divinity dwells

in bodily form, and in whom we are made 

complete and become partakers

of the divine nature.

God's Humanity and Our Divinity

Christ is God's humanity and our divinity.

Whatever is True of Christ

The Incarnation means that whatever is true of Christ in his humanity is true of us in ours. But it also means that we partake of his divinity and become by grace what Christ is by nature.

There is No Contest

When the brokenness of sin meets

the faithfulness of Christ?

No contest.

When the power of death meets

the life of Christ?

No contest.

Sin and death were doomed by the Incarnation,

when God became one with us.

Not Moralism but New Life

Christ did not come

to institute a new moralism

but to give us New Life.

Christ is God's Yes and Our Yes

Christ is not only God’s Yes to us,

He is also our Yes to God.

The Beginning of Christian Theology

Christian theology does not begin

with philosophy or theological abstraction but

with the concrete revelation of God

in Jesus Christ through

the Holy Spirit.

Until All the World is Mended

Christ inhabits every broken story 

until all the world is mended.

Christ Our Only True Reality

Christ is our only true reality.

In Him we live and move and have our being,

and in Him all things hold together.

Everything that moves away from Him

moves towards nothing.

Believe the Life of Christ in You

Believe the life of Christ in you.

Christ is God’s Elect

Christ is God’s Elect who, by the Incarnation,

has become one with all of humanity.

Nothing Depens on Our Certainty

Thank God, nothing depends on our certainty.

A Part of the Peace

Lord, keep me from being part of the strife

but make me a part of the peace. Amen.

Faith is Not About Certainty

Faith is not about certainty

but about trust.

In the Middle of Your Mess

If you are seeking Christ,

you will find Him in the

middle of your mess

and at the bottom

of your ditch.
