A christian is one who recognizes jesus as the christ, the son of the living god, as god manifested in the flesh, loving us and dying for our redemption; and who is so affected by a sense of the love of this incarnate god as to be constrained to make the will of christ the rule of his obedience, and the glory of christ the great end for which he lives.

A Christian Is One Who Recognizes Jesus

More From Charles Hodge

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.

O most sacred, most loving heart of jesus, thou art concealed in the holy eucharist, and thou beatest for us still.... thou art the heart of the most high made man.... thy sacred heart is the instrument and organ of thy love. it did beat for us. it yearned for us. it ached for our salvation. it was on fire through zeal, that the glory of god might be manifested in and by us.... in worshipping thee i worship my incarnate god, my emmanuel

The old testament records the preparation for the coming of the messiah. the gospels record the coming of the messiah, jesus christ our lord. the book of acts records the propagation of the gospel (the good news) concerning jesus christ. the epistles (letters) explain the gospel and its implications for our lives. the book of revelation anticipates and describes the second coming of jesus christ and the establishment of his eternal kingdom. from beginning to end, the bible glorifies jesus christ and centers on him. its christ-centeredness is one of its wonderful features.
Jesus Book Preparation
To follow jesus implies that we enter into a way of life that is given character and shape and direction by the one who calls us. to follow jesus means picking up rhythms and ways of doing things that are often unsaid but always derivative from jesus, formed by the influence of jesus. to follow jesus means that we can't separate what jesus is saying from what jesus is doing and the way that he is doing it. to follow jesus is as much, or maybe even more, about feet as it is about ears and eyes" (the way of jesus, eugene h. peterson, 22).

Strength, the american way, is not manifested by threats of criminal prosecution or police state methods. leadership is not manifested by coercion, even against the resented. greatness is not manifested by unlimited pragmatism, which places such a high premium on the end justifying any means and any methods.

It seems like there's a lot of people who just do not understand satire. they think it's weird. there's people who just don't understand you portray something or just explore a character, it means you're condoning it, saying this is the way to live.

A nation has honor precisely as it has fleas - on this or that body. the statesman who talks of honor - unless he means something else, quite different - is a rogue.
