September 17, 2023 - Good News/Truth for the Seeker & the Skeptic

Nathanael was invited to follow Jesus, but responded with scoffing. Jesus engaged him by valuing his skepticism & questions, but didn’t “prove” himself intellectually. Rather, he showed Nathanael truth & beauty: Jesus is the true Logos, the only bridge between heaven & earth, & the answer everyone is truly seeking. We engage skepticism (our own & others) by seeking the true question, then seeing how Christianity alone makes sense of life, morality, & human value. Jesus alone gives truth & beauty to a world of competing thoughts & brokenness. In addition to Jesus’ incarnation (which brought God’s truth & beauty to earth), Jesus later went to the cross, & sent the Spirit to bring heaven to earth for & through his people.
