“The term “evangelist” is based on the Greek word for “gospel,” which means “news.” As evangelists, the authors of the gospels proclaimed the “news” about Jesus in and for their time and place. The word “news” suggests updating. They proclaimed Jesus for their “now” by updating the story of Jesus “then.” They combined proclamation of Jesus for their now with their memory of Jesus then. In this, they did what any good Christian preacher, teacher, or theologian does—tells us what Jesus then means for us now.”

“There are times when I hear my name, turn, and recognize Jesus. There are times when faith feels like a friendship with God. But there are many other times when it feels more adversarial or even vacant. Yet none of that matters in the end. How we feel about Jesus or how close we feel to God is meaningless next to how God acts upon us. How God indeed enters into our messy lives and loves us through them, whether we want God’s help or not. And how, even after we’ve experienced some sort of resurrection, it’s never perfect or impressive like an Easter bonnet, because, like Jesus, resurrected bodies are always in rough shape.”
