“If all of Scripture wasn’t true then none of it was. If Jesus couldn’t be trusted with even one of His words, then none of His Words could be trusted, including those He’d said about who He was and what He’d come to do. The Gospel hinged on the inerrancy of Scripture, and if you didn’t have that, you didn’t have anything”

“But what the Bedouin shared was that when the shepherd would find the lost sheep, he’d bring him back to the rest of the flock, carrying the lost sheep on his shoulders.” “Just like that picture,” Beckett had nodded. “So sweet…” Sarcasm, again. Holly had kept on. “Yes, and when he got the errant sheep to the others, he’d put him down right there on the ground. And then, the shepherd would break the sheep’s leg in front of all the other sheep.” Beckett’s fork stopped halfway to his mouth. “He’d do what now?” “He’d make an example of the sheep,” she said. “And he’d keep him from running off again, obviously.” Beckett had sat back in his seat. “Well, that’s not sweet at all. Hard core Jesus, breaking the legs of the unrepentant.” Beckett would probably be mightily helped if the Lord broke him significantly, honestly. “That said,” Holly kept on, “it certainly must have been on Jesus’s mind when He called Himself the good shepherd.” “Because Jesus busts up kneecaps?” Beckett had asked, horrified by what she wasn’t saying. “No, because He doesn’t break us, not like we deserve, at least,” she’d said softly. “He was broken for us instead. The good shepherd, taking on what should be given to the errant sheep, breaking Himself for us.”

“But do you give it to Him daily, Rachel?  Do you make the choice every day to live for Him?  Because justification for all of your sins was a one-time deal, done on the cross, but the sanctification He’s working out in your life?  A daily thing.  A dying to self thing.  A choice to live for Him and for what He wants to do in you rather than waiting for some man to come along, love you, and fill a need that Christ alone can fill.”

“Do it all.  Be who God’s calling you to be, not who you thought you should have been.”
