I’d like to share some thoughts that might help put Good Friday and Easter Sunday in eternal perspective.

In this excerpt from his book Good and Angry: Redeeming Anger, Irritation, Complaining, and Bitterness, David Powlison talks about the gentleness of Jesus, and how it’s been commonly misunderstood as a weakness, rather than a demonstration of God’s strength.

What do we really believe about the Jesus we follow? Is the Jesus we claim to know the real Jesus, or a Jesus of our own invention, who doesn’t match up with the biblical and historical realities?

The following is an excerpt from The Knowing Jesus Study Bible, edited by Edward Hindson and Ed Dobson. I hope this might encourage us to consider where at times we too might be like Peter, who attempted to fit Jesus within “the parameters of his own expectations.”

I’ve been reading a great new book by Paul David Tripp titled Come Let Us Adore Him. Though by the time you read this it will be too late to get the book for Christmas, I suggest you buy it and just pay no attention to the dates December 1-31! I read the December 2 entry in this blog on December 18 and it meant just as much to me then as it would have on the 2nd.

The miracle of the cross was made possible by the miracle of the incarnation. The angels must have been stunned to see the second member of the triune God become a human being.
