Now what . . . ?
14 For Christs love compels us, because we are
convinced that one died for all, and therefore
all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who
live should no longer live for themselves but for
him who died for them and was raised again.

Now what . . . ?
16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly
point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in
this way, we do so no longer.

Its hard to argue with the teachings of Jesus
whether you believe it or not. The Sermon on the
Mount is all about turning the other cheek. I
think if Jesus were to come back, He would more
likely hang out with lowlifes and perhaps be in a
really bad cover band but do His good work . . .
The Bible has too many typos. . . .

I wish I knew more about the Bible but I havent
really made up my mind. I think its all
mythology. It would be nice to believe in
something, just in case. I mean, what do you have
to lose? We can be all scientific about it, but
just in case. I dont know. Im still thinking
about it.

Real World Impact
Making disciples is not an easy process.
12
It is trying. It is messy. It is slow,
tedious, even messy at times.
13
It is all these things because it
is relational.

Jesus has not given us an effortless,
step-by-step formula for impacting
nations for His glory.
15
He has given us people and
he has said
16
Live for them. Love them. Serve them. Lead
them.
17
Lead them to follow Me. Lead them to Lead
others to follow Me.

In the process you will multiply the gospel
to the ends of the earth. David Platt
