A Pretty Face, the Kind You'd Find on Someone That Could Save

"Remember, the people who know me [Jesus] are the ones who are free to live and love without any agenda."

"Is that what is means to be a Christian?" It sounded kind of stupid as Mack said it, but it was how he was trying to sum up everything in his mind.

"Who said anything about being a Christian? I'm not a Christian"

The idea struck Mack as odd and unexpected and he couldn't keep himself from grinning. "No, I suppose you aren't"

They arrived at the door of the workshop. Again Jesus stopped. "Those who love me come from every system that exists. They were Buddhists or Mormons, Baptists or Muslims, Democrats, Republicans and many who don't vote or are not part of any Sunday morning or religious institutions. I have followers who were murderers and many who were self-righteous. Some are bankers and bookie, Americans and Iraqis, Jews and Palestinians. I have no desire to make them Christian, but I do want to join them in their transformation into songs and daughters of my Papa, into my brothers and sisters, into my Beloved."

"Does that mean," asked Mack, "that all roads will lead to you?"

"Not at all," smiled Jesus as he reached for the door handle to the shop. "Most roads don't lead anywhere. What it does mean is that I will travel any road to find you."


This blew my mind.
You should read The Shack by William Young, from where this excerpt is taken.
It is a book that will revitalize your insight into the heart of God,
It will make you yearn for the presence of Papa.
