I have been told that I need to believe in Jesus. Which is a good thing. But what I am learning is that Jesus believes in me. - Rob Bell

As obvious as it is, then, Jesus is bigger than any one religion.

He didn't come to start a new religion, and he continually disrupted whatever conventions or systems or establishments that existed in his day. He will always transcend whatever cages and labels are created to contain him, especially the one called 'Christianity'.

God has to punish sinners, because God is holy, but Jesus has paid the price for our sin, and so we can have eternal life. However true or untrue that is technically or theologically, what it can do is subtly teach people that Jesus rescues us from God.

There is hell now, and there is hell later, and Jesus teaches us to take both seriously.
