Seeing the Real Jesus

RESILIENT - able to withstand or recover from difficult conditions (person); able to recoil or spring back after bending, stretching or being compressed (substance or object).
“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us…The gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about [anyone] is not what [they] at a given time may say or do, but what [they] deep in [their] hearts conceive God to be like.”
A.W.Tozer

LOVE of God | GREATNESS of God
“The verse before us may therefore suggest that the beloved disciple was in a relationship with Jesus analogous to the relationship Jesus enjoyed with his heavenly Father.”
– D A Carson - The Gospel of John, Pillar Commentary 473.

Jesus is so loving that we can completely trust Him
SO GREAT THAT WE SHOULD COMPLETELY REVERE HIM
“The Church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshipping men. This she has done not deliberately, but little by little and without her knowledge; and her very unawareness only makes her situation all the more tragic.”
– A.W. Tozer
– A.W. Tozer
“With our loss of the sense of majesty has come the further loss of religious awe and consciousness of the divine Presence. We have lost our spirit of worship and our ability to withdraw inwardly to meet God in adoring silence.”

“Aslan is a lion - the Lion, the great Lion.” “Ooh” said Susan, “I’d thought he was a man. Is he - quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion”…“Safe?” said Mr Beaver…“Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.”
– C.S.Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
