Why be a Christian?
Because God has, in an ultimate grace-filled act of self-disclosure, in Jesus Christ, revealed the divine nature to be one of self-giving, suffering, non-violent, transformative love.
Why be a Christian?
Because Christ is in the world; there is no other way to be. One sees the world through Christian eyes, because Christ – Christ crucified, Christ risen – is All-in-all.
Why be a Christian?
Because Christ confronted the powers that fracture our world and has overcome them with suffering love. He is ushering in a new heaven and new earth, and invites us to follow him and to work with “the grain of the universe.”
