John Stott: "Every time we look at the cross Christ seems to be saying to us, 'I am here because of you. It is your sin I am bearing, your curse I am suffering, your debt I am paying, your death I am dying.' Nothing in history or in the universe cuts us down to size like the cross. All of us have inflated views of ourselves, especially in self-righteousness, until we have visited a place called Calvary. It is there, at the foot of the cross, that we shrink to our true size."

Yesterday I was apart of this amazing convo at lunch with my Pastor, the leader of the worship team and some friends. One of my friends is known for his abstract ways of thinking and needless to say I was convicted and encouraged. It was cool to see that tho the question was directed to my Pastor, we were all invited to listen and express our ideas and questions. Later that night this same friend and I talked on Fbook chat and at first it was small talk about the tastiness of orange juice but then it turned into him helping me understand and clarify somethings. He asked me if I have ever seen the Good News and I had to think about it. I mean yes, I have heard it but have I seen it in my life and I answered yes to some degree but I feel like I have only skimmed the top, and that there is so much more to it.
