The Big Picture:Flipping the

Script

14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. 

Now what . . . ?

16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 

Now what . . . ?

“It’s hard to argue with the teachings of Jesus – whether you believe it or not. The Sermon on the Mount is all about turning the other cheek. I think if Jesus were to come back, He would more likely hang out with lowlifes and perhaps be in a really bad cover band but do His good work . . . The Bible has too many typos. . . . Zach Galifianakis

I wish I knew more about the Bible but I haven’t really made up my mind. I think it’s all mythology. It would be nice to believe in something, just in case. I mean, what do you have to lose? We can be all scientific about it, but just in case. I don’t know. I’m still thinking about it.”

“Making disciples is not an easy process.

Real World Impact

It is trying.

It is messy.

It is slow, tedious,

even messy at times.

It is all these things

because

it is relational.

Jesus has not given us an effortless,

step-by-stepformula

for impacting nations for His glory.

He has given us

people

and he has said:

Live for them.

Love them.

Serve them.

Lead them.

Lead them to follow Me.

Lead them to

Lead others to follow Me.

In the process

you will multiply the gospel

to the ends of the earth.”
