The compelling thing about Jesus is that his story starts with love, ends with love, and brings redemption through love. He offers us a story big enough to explain the complex mess we call the world, and powerful enough to redeem every square inch through love—the sort of love that never gives up, the sort of love that swallows up fear, the sort of love that heals, however quickly or slowly, the sort of love that outlasts the sting of pain.
