IV. Where Do We Go From Here? vs. 16-17
Colson quote
… let’s look back at the world into which the Word who became flesh
entered human history.
It was a world shaped by the worship of false gods, gods who didn’t care
about their worshippers with worshippers who didn’t care much about
each other.
The God who became flesh changed everything. His life, death, and
resurrection not only exposed the false gods for the counterfeits they
were, but His followers demonstrated a new way.
What started in Bethlehem two millennia ago continues today.
Jesus is still disarming false “gods,” like money, fame, sex, and power,
and His followers are still called to offer a better way of being human
than anything currently offered in contemporary society.
This is the gift we have to offer the world.
