The gospels, in a nutshell, are an offensive paradox where absurd and seemingly contradictory statements reside such as in order to live we have to die to self. The gospels seek to reconcile unmerited grace with the necessity of social engagement simultaneously to people who may themselves not be deserving as well. We are welcomed home like the Prodigal, but we are not off the hook for work we are called to do. The beauty of the gospels is that as eternal as they are in their ability to inspire, that type of inspiration may manifest in as many ways over time as there are interpretations. Explore ours as you find yours.
