The world does not like the idea of grace because it thinks we will abuse Jesus’ gift. The funny thing is that Jesus doesn’t mind. He isn’t afraid of giving the prodigal son a kiss instead of a lecture, a party instead of probation. It was the older brother, the Pharisees, who worry about these things. To them, Jesus says, "Cut that out! Your brother was dead and he's alive again. The name of the...

Do you feel abandoned and forsaken? Do you need a picture of God to hold onto? Jesus says, hold onto me. Hold onto my words. See the great things Christians have done in my name. Look at the cross. This is your picture. You are not alone. You are not abandoned or forsaken.

What kind of door is Jesus? A wonderful door! Praise God, Jesus is the door. And praise God, we are not.
