Today, I began reading Jesus Is ________ by Judah Smith. He begins the book with the story of Zacchaeus. I look forward to reading the rest of the book. Here are a few quotes from Chapter 1:
"Nowhere in the Bible, however, do we find God distinguishing between levels of sin. God doesn't share our rating system. To him, all sin is equally evil, and all sinners are equally lovable. Obviously sins have different consequences: some will get you incarcerated or your face punched in, while others won't even be noticed. But God just calls sin, sin."
"What changed Zacchaeus? Biblical principle? Personal devotion? Religious duty and deeds? No-just a few moments with God in the flesh."
"Jesus is not your accuser. He's not your prosecutor. He's not your judge. He's your friend and your rescuer. Like Zacchaeus, just spend time with Jesus."
"Don't allow the opinions of other people to shape your concept of him. Get to know him for yourself, and let the goodness of God change you from the inside out."
