Quote

Let the just rejoice,
for their justifier is born.
Let the sick and infirm rejoice,
For their saviour is born.
Let the captives rejoice,
For their Redeemer is born.
Let slaves rejoice,
for their Master is born.
Let free men rejoice,
For their Liberator is born.
Let All Christians rejoice,
For Jesus Christ is born.
— St. Augustine of Hippo

Thought from class

I am sitting in class right now and the professor just offered a thought he attributed to Leonard Sweet-

“There is only one way to God but there are many ways to Jesus.”

If that is true (which I think it is), then why do most Christian ministries tend to normalize encounters with Jesus?  Why do churches seek to standardize access to Jesus through clearly defined methodologies and patterns?

I think most Christians, especially Church leaders, would say instead that “There is only one way to God which is through Jesus, and if you want to meet Jesus, come to church, accept him as your savior, read your Bible, join a small group…” and you get the idea.
