True Life

December 17, 2017 | David Speakman

Series: Advent 2017

Scripture: John 1:1-13

“Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?”

—Mary Oliver

“Instructions for living a life:
Pay Attention.
Be Astonished.
Talk about it.”

—Mary Oliver

“You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.”

—G.K. Chesterton

“Salvation is  . . . membership in the family of God . . . The creation of a family with children is the reason for all of God’s activity.  This is how he intends to show his glory . . . Our sonship to God is the apex of creation and the goal of redemption . . . The story of Paradise lost becoming Paradise regained is the story of God’s grace bringing us from alienation from him to membership in his family . . . Our self-image, if it is to be biblical, will begin just here. God is my Father (the Christian’s self-image always begins with the knowledge of God and who he is!); I am one of his children (I know my real identity); his people are my brothers and sisters (I recognize the family to which I belong and have discovered my deepest ‘roots’).”

—Sinclair Ferguson, Children of the Living God
