Calling Quotes
-
And how shall I call upon my God, my God and Lord, since, when I call for Him, I shall be calling Him to myself? and what room is there within me, whither my God can come into me? whither can God come into me, God who made heaven and earth? is there, indeed, O Lord my God, aught in me that can contain thee?

The undiluted Jesus is someone who invites us to actually follow him—to do the things that he did—and to be willing to set aside anything in our lives that gets in the way of that central calling. It’s a calling for us to simply look like Jesus. To let the dead bury the dead. To embrace an uncertain future. To pick up a cross. If we want to rediscover the radical message of Jesus, we must stop diluting it by focusing on power, peace of mind, and prosperity. Instead, we must embrace the truly radical message that invites us to find life through laying it down. Ironically—if we do this—we’ll actually find the life we’re looking for, unfamiliar as it may be.

Paul Shaffer
