Jesus Good, True, and Beautiful

“It’s not important for the church to be relevant ,” writes none other than Leonard Sweet today.

But that bomb through the window isn’t where he stops.

“It is important for the church to be holy,” he continues, “and wholly incarnate by being Jesus good, Jesus true and Jesus beautiful.”

The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch, says Acts 11:26.

What’s it mean in our era, this year, today, to be “Jesus good” like Sweet writes?

What will we stop doing, and what will we start doing, to be “Jesus true” right now?

And dare we even consider what “Jesus beautiful” means now?

I look forward to hearing from you about this, and I’ll see you back here tomorrow.

Meanwhile, by the grace of God may it be said of us, “they’re called Christians.”
