“There are no promises of earthly riches or easy living. In fact, Jesus leads us into a suffering world to engage with it more, not less. While most people spend their lives keeping back, filling up, and clinging on, Jesus teaches us to press it, pour out, and give away. The way of Jesus is not a trouble-free existence—far from it. But Jesus does promise that, in giving ourselves away, we will truly find ourselves.” Glen Scrivener’s 321: The Story of God, the World, and You (10Publishing, 2014) [animated presentation](132)(112–13)

“The point of the Bible is not simply education, though there is much to learn. Its point is not simply entertainment, though its stories and songs are inspirational. Its point is not simply ethical improvement, though it has shaped the moral life of civilizations. The point of the Bible is to encounter Jesus.” - Glen Scrivener’s 321: The Story of God, the World, and You (10Publishing, 2014) [animated presentation](132)

“‘Dead men don’t rise.’ This is true. But what if Jesus is more than a man?” - Glen Scrivener’s 321: The Story of God, the World, and You (10Publishing, 2014) [animated presentation](132)
“Given that the Bible is a library of 66 books written by 40 authors over 15 centuries, the headline story is actually the incredible unity of the Bible. . . . On Good Friday alone Jesus fulfilled 29 separate Old Testament prophecies. . . . The consistency question is not a weak point for the Bible; it is perhaps the strongest argument for its divine origin.” - Glen Scrivener’s 321: The Story of God, the World, and You (10Publishing, 2014) [animated presentation](137)
