It's through our RIDICULOUS attention to everything Jesus said and did that we discover the truth about God, and the truth about ourselves. We learn everything about God we need to know by slowing WAY down to consider WHAT Jesus actually said and did, WHO He said and did it to, and WHAT the impact of His words and actions had on people. When we let our pursuit of Jesus guide our understanding of God and His story, we are transformed by what we discover.
