Join The Underlines // The Best Of What I Read
A batch of the best highlights from what Joshua's read, .
There’s no one who surrendered more freedom than Jesus, who went from the all-powerful second person of the Trinity to the vulnerable form of a helpless infant. He went from speaking the universe into existence by his Word to not being able to speak a word. This is what the Scriptures mean when they say that he “emptied himself” (Philippians 2:7).
The Common Rule
Justin Whitmel Earley
The jibe only works in a world where heaven and earth are assumed to be detached from each other, having nothing to do with each other. But in the Bible heaven and earth are made for each other. They are the twin interlocking spheres of God’s single created reality. You really understand earth only when you are equally familiar with heaven. You really know God and share his life only when you understand that he is the creator and lover of earth just as much as of heaven.

Imagine having a sacrament named “thanks”! We are on the receiving end, without accomplishment, achievement, or qualification. It is a gift, and we are grateful!
