Paul for Everyone Quotes

“People often say they are looking for a new challenge, but often what that means is that they aren’t prepared to face the real challenge of staying where they are, working through the present tiredness and boredom, and completing the job they have started.”
― Tom Wright, Paul for Everyone: 2 Corinthians

“If God was doing all this in the Messiah, that work now needed to be put into effect, to be implemented. The great symphony of reconciliation composed on Calvary needed to be copied out into orchestral parts for all the world to play. And that’s where Paul and the other apostles come in. ‘God was reconciling the world to himself in the Messiah, and entrusting us with the message of reconciliation.”
― Tom Wright, Paul for Everyone: 2 Corinthians
