“The problem is this: A selfish faith is not the faith of Jesus Christ. The faith that Jesus established is one of living outside yourself and sacrificing your own needs, even your own life, for the lives of others. It always has been and always will be.”
― H.L. Hussmann, God's Greatest Passion: Every Christian, Everywhere, Sharing Jesus

“Part of the miracle of the resurrection is that it so empowered a ragtag band of fishermen and tax collectors that they were emboldened to stand against all earthly authority and power, and ultimately would upend the once inviolable order of the mighty Roman Empire. History tells us that this happened. So what better explanation can be offered for how it happened? Unless we have missed something, there exists none. And if there exists none, we are invited to submit to the logic of what we now know: that this most celebrated and most scorned miracle of miracles actually happened—and, perhaps most miraculously of all, can even be understood to have happened.”
