Adding things to Jesus is what has most ailed the church for 2,000 years. 'Jesus-plus...'

Sometimes it’s Jesus plus our personal piety through works of the law.

Sometimes it’s Jesus plus measurable moral transformation.

Sometimes it’s Jesus plus the church’s activism and work in the world.

Sometimes it’s Jesus plus a political vision.

But the root issue is the same: we add things to Christ as though he isn't enough for salvation.

And as soon as we do that, we obscure the gospel and burden sinners.

@MoSalah Thank you Mo! The best!

I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.

Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.

Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.

Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.

As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.

It isn't optional to obey God's [moral] law.

Even so, take heart my brothers and sisters.

Our relationship to it has changed.

For us, Jesus removed its teeth.

It can't condemn us.

May we grasp that critical truth.

We now obey the law of Christ.

"Love others without fear."

Loving this epic poetry by the masterful storyteller @malcolmguite.

“The darkness seeks for mastery, but cannot grasp the mystery or comprehend the light.”

So much truth in this line.

[Justin Joseph @ReclaimingRest]

Jesus came to fulfill all righteousness for God's people.

*all*

That means there isn't any left to establish.

And, that obedience can't be required in order to remain saved.

Brothers and sisters, we're forever righteous before God.

Don't listen to any claims to the contrary.

If our life is to be meaningful, really to matter, it must be extraordinary in some way. Extraordinary in the accumulation of wealth or landing a fantastic career, an athletic trophy, an academic accomplishment, or anything that puts us in the limelight, proclaiming, “Now, look, this person is a cut above the rest!”

That’s the cultural “gospel,” anyway, that is preached from the pulpits of movies, television, and social media.

But it’s all a sham. A sinister lie that leaves many people thinking their ordinary lives are void of meaning and purpose.

The biblical teaching pushes back. God wants us to find joy in sacred simplicity and the ordinary gifts of life.

For instance, in the book we've been reading the last couple of days in Bible in One Year, Ecclesiastes, we see this countercultural truth: “Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun for the few days of his life that God has given him” (5:18).

What a refreshing truth this is! We find joy in simple things, such as God’s gift of food, drink, and work. We can expand this list to God’s gifts of spouse, children, and friendship.

Climbing the ladder of success and assuming that will lead to a fulfilled life often lands the person on an upper level full of wheezing souls still chasing after the wind.

Climb “downward” to the daily, ordinary beauty of marriage, children, grandchildren, friends. “Aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands” (1 Thess. 4:9). Kiss your spouse. Play a game with your kids. Go out to eat with your friends. Labor at work.

God came to us as the man, Jesus, who got dirt under his fingernails, cooked fish over campfires, ate and drank with friends and students, and told stories about farming and sheep herding. Jesus did more than this, to be sure, but he did these ordinary things in everyday relationships, for that is where God is at work.

The treasures of heaven are wrapped in the brown paper simplicities of life.

[Justin Perdue @justin_perdue]

Jesus did not come to turn us into the kind of people God would've accepted in the first place on the basis of our own righteousness.

Jesus did not send his Spirit so that we could keep the law adequately and, thereby, stand in the judgment.

No, Jesus came to bear our sins in his body on the tree and to make satisfaction for them. He came to fulfill all righteousness and give us his.

We stand in Christ alone now. We will stand in Christ alone on the last day.

Missions exists because God has a multitude to bring into his kingdom.
