Reference: 2 Peter 1:1-11
Speaker: Paul Brandes, PaulB@cckc.church
Jesus is the picture of and pathway to goodness.
– Jesus is the most beautiful picture of goodness.
We live in an age intensely concerned with image and nearly obsessed with looks. But [with Jesus] all the emphasis is, we might say, not on the quality of his skin but on the content of his character. And that character was remarkable. … In Jesus we see qualities and virtues we would ordinarily consider incompatible in the same person. We would never think they could be combined but, because they are, they are strikingly beautiful. Jesus combines high majesty with the greatest humility, he joins the strongest commitment to justice with astonishing mercy and grace, and he reveals a transcendent self-sufficiency and yet entire trust in and reliance upon his heavenly Father. We are surprised to see tenderness without any weakness, boldness without harshness, humility without any uncertainty, indeed, accompanied by a towering confidence. Readers can discover for themselves his unbending convictions but complete approachability, his insistence on truth but always bathed in love, his power without insensitivity, integrity without rigidity, passion without prejudice. ~ Tim Keller, Making Sense of God
