Quotes 27 Jun 17

“Jesus is not committed to repairing Adam’s old world. He is committed to raising up his new world. It’s more glorious this way—not simply to heal the illness but to turn the funeral into a homecoming. What Jesus does for Lazarus is a picture of his plans for the world. He is not committed to repairing this fallen world, but to raising it from the dead.” - Glen Scrivener’s 321: The Story of God, the World, and You (10Publishing, 2014) [animated presentation](144–45)

“Whatever else we say about hell, we should remember that God the Son has entered it so that we never have to.” - Glen Scrivener’s 321: The Story of God, the World, and You (10Publishing, 2014) [animated presentation](149)

“The Christian God is unique. In some religions God is an individual defined by supremacy. In some religions there are many gods who often war with each other. In neither case is love ultimate. [The Scriptures present] a Father loving his Son in the joy of the Spirit. Only the Christian can truly say, ‘God is love.’” - Glen Scrivener’s 321: The Story of God, the World, and You (10Publishing, 2014) [animated presentation](159)

“Jesus says our partner’s gender matters. In our ‘one flesh’ relationship we are not called to another version of ourselves but to our ‘opposite number.’ For the Christian, marriage is a flow between two interlocking partners: a man and a woman. In this way, Christians believe that marriages reflect to the world the ultimate romance story: the love of Jesus for those who are different to him—us.” (166)- Glen Scrivener’s 321: The Story of God, the World, and You (10Publishing, 2014) [animated presentation]
