Next Door Savior

“I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. ” Philippians 3:8, RSV

He was the single most significant person who ever lived . . . The head of the parade? Hardly. No one else shares the street. Who comes close? Humanity’s best and brightest fade like dime-store rubies next to him . . .

A just-God Jesus could make us but not understand us. A just-man Jesus could love us but never save us. But a God-man Jesus? Near enough to touch. Strong enough to trust.
