Join The Underlines // The Best Of What I Read
A batch of the best highlights from what Joshua's read, .
True Hope In Colossians 2, Paul goes on to argue that we are full in Christ (9—10), made alive in Christ (11—12) and set free in Christ (13—15). This changes everything, including the way we struggle against sin.
How People Change
Timothy S. Lane and Paul David Tripp
Jesus is more than an example to be followed; he’s a Savior to be trusted. This is why we miss the point if we see Jesus’ wilderness temptation as only how to overcome temptation, with advice like “Jesus used Scripture, so you should too.” This focuses on a flea and misses the elephant in the room. The point is not, “He did it; you can too!” The point is, “You don’t do it; so Jesus did it for you.”
The Pursuing God
Joshua Ryan Butler
John 20 stresses twice (in verses 1 and 19) that Easter is the first day of the new week. John has so ordered his gospel that the sequence of seven signs, climaxing in the cross of Jesus on the sixth day of the week and his resting in the tomb on the seventh, functions as the week of the old creation; and now Easter functions as the beginning of the new creation. The Word through whom all things were made is now the Word through whom all things are remade.
