Thursday Thoughts
This week, The Resurgence started a series of posts on "What is Scripture?" In the introductory post, Justin Holcomb wrote some great stuff that corresponds to the message at Crossroads this week.
Jesus is the message—God participating in human life, coming near to us, bringing his good news, expressing God’s love for us, dying as our substitute, rising as the victor over death, and building his church as a community of grace. Jesus is not just the main person in one of many events in the story of God’s people. Jesus is the final revelation of God’s drama of redemption. Humanity sees God in full light in Jesus. Jesus is God’s ultimate word about human life and the Bible is God’s word about God’s self-revelation through human life. This is what Christian theologians have been saying in various ways for 2,000 years.

This is the first of what will hopefully become a series of posts where I post a link or a quote that deals specifically with the topic that I will be tackling that evening. Can you think of any other links that might enlighten me in regards to this week's topic? Please share links in the comments.
