“It is impossible to conceive how different things would have turned out if that birth had not happened whenever, wherever, however it did for millions of people who have lived since, the birth of Jesus made possible not just a new way of understanding life but a new way of living it. It is a truth that, for twenty centuries, there have been untold numbers of men and women who, in untold numbers of ways, have been so grasped by the child who was born, so caught up in the message he taught and the life he lived, that they have found themselves profoundly changed by their relationship with him.” PeopleIfsMenWayChildrenHas BeensMadeDifferentFoundJesusUnderstandingBornNumbersMillionsImpossibleHappenedCenturyChangedTaughtBirthMessagesMen And WomenTwentiesCaughtDifferent ThingsNew WaysCaught UpUnderstanding LifeJesus Birth Author:Frederick Buechner

“What is God like? Because millions and millions of people were taught that the primary message - the center of the Gospel of Jesus - is that God is going to send you to hell, unless you believe in Jesus. And so, what gets, subtlely, sort of caught and taught is that Jesus rescues you from God. But what kind of God is that; that we would need to be rescued from this God? How could that God ever be good; how could that God ever be trusted? And how could that ever be good news.” PeopleNeedsBelieveKindJesusMillionsHellTaughtMessagesNewsCaughtBe GoodPrimariesTrustedRescueGood News Author:Rob Bell
