What made me love Christ wasn’t that all of a sudden I figured out how to do life. What made me love Christ is that when I was at my worst, when I was at my rock bottom and then found out rock bottom had a basement, Christ said, “I’ll take that one. That’s the one I want.”
..............….........…........................................................ You know how the Bible calls the church Christ’s bride? So it’s like standing before Jesus, completely exposed, all of my flaws and insecurities and — worse than that — my sins are right there in front of his face, and against all reason and rationale, the song of grace becomes startlingly, exhilaratingly true because He looks at me and declares me beautiful. Spotless. Righteous. Justified.

This is what made me love Christ. And as a believer in Jesus, it’s important for me to admit that I’m not any more moral than the next guy or gal. The essence of the gospel and what I celebrate is not that “I can” but that Christ did.
