"Because God is holy, He must count sin---but He counts it against someone else. He counts it against His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ."

"May God forgive us when we, like the crowd, are full of indignation at the interference to our plans and inconvenience to our preferences caused by those who are crying out for His mercy."

“[Jesus] acted on our behalf, offering forgiveness that is free to us, but costly to God. We dare not think that God simply decided to overlook our sin; rather, Christ’s death on the cross absorbed the judgment that you and I deserve. God‘s holiness requires sin’s penalty to be paid—and His Son provided the payment.”

"Christ's sympathy for the trials you and I face depends not upon the experience of sin but upon the experience of the temptation of sin, which only the one who is truly sinless can know to its fullest extent. Jesus does not demonstrate sympathy from a distance; He intimately knows the pain and challenge of enduring temptation. He walked our earthly paths."

“Do we recognize Jesus as King? How we answer is a matter of eternal significance. And how we answer is also a matter of present consequence.”

"The Evil One is not concerned with persuading us not to bother with many of our Christian activities--but he is concerned to persuade us to stop holding on to the absolute truths concerning the nature and character of God and to the absolute truths concerning the ethics of His kingdom."

"How, then, are the blind made to see? Just as Bartimaeus was: by going to Jesus and calling out to Him for mercy, asking for the loving forgiveness and new life that only He can provide. You will never know Jesus Christ as a reality in your life until you know Him as a necessity."

“There is no room for complacency in the Christian life, no matter what you have done and seen and no matter what you’re standing in your church.”

"As with a weaned child, it's important for us as spiritual children to recognize that we don't always know what's best for ourselves. We can trust that our Father in heaven knows best."

“We cannot be passive or indecisive regarding who Christ is to us. Is He the Savior or is He no one? To abstain from a decision about this, as Pilate sought to do, is to abstain from Christ altogether.”
