A couple of thoughts

We are reading a book called Simply Christian by N.T. Wright in our small group on Sundays after church. I just thought I would share a couple of good quotes from the chapter titled "Jesus and the Coming of God's Kingdom."

"The need which the Christian faith answers is not so much that we are ignorant and need information, but that we are lost and need someone to come find us, stuck in the quicksand waiting to be rescued, dying and in need of new life." (p.92)

"Something about Jesus and the chance there might be more to him than our culture has realized still awakens in millions a sense of new possibilities and prospects." (p.93)
