Scripture: Mark 14:43-50
The descent to Hell is easy, and those who begin by worshipping power soon worship evil. —C.S. Lewis
On the cross, Jesus is getting what we deserve so we can get what he deserves. When you see the great reversal is for you, when you see that he gave up his cosmic wealth and came into our poverty so that you could be spiritually rich, it changes you. —Tim Keller, Jesus is King
But love without power is less that what it is meant to be. … This is why the love that is at the heartbeat of the Christian story, the Father’s love for the Son and, through the Son, for the world, – is not simply a sentimental feeling or a distant, ethereal theological truth, but has been signed and sealed by the most audacious act of true power in the history of the world, the resurrection of the Son from the dead. —Andy Crouch, Playing God – Redeeming The Gift Of Power
