The Good news in 7 words

God refuses to be God without us

We asked God to say something definite and God,
getting personal, sent Jesus Christ. We were surprised.

by William H. Willimon

“Grace freely given: But wait there’s more …”

(Malcolm)

“Jesus Loves me this I know”

(Morgan)

In Jesus, God comes home to you.

Israel’s God’s bodied love continues world-making

I used only six words; I rested on the seventh.

by Walter Brueggemann

You see the violence of the wicked, Lord: rise up and defend your children.Source: Prayer Book

God is love: This is no joke.

We use flippancy and irony (see above) to shield ourselves from feeling.
We relegate love to the realm of the romantic and sentimental, and
dismiss it. But gospel love brings us to our senses. The love epitomized
in Jesus Christ is serious and demanding, merciful and not judgmental.
It is life-giving and self-sacrificing. It is love that sees and tells the truth,
whatever the cost. In Jesus we find the love of God. - Kathleen Norris
