Jesus is the “yes” face of God, always inviting us into his life and requesting that we invite him into ours. Eugene Peterson captured the essence of this when he translated John 16:33 in The Message: [Jesus said,] “I’ve told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world.”
