John R.W. Stott Quotes

But Even If We Remain In Our Own Country, Christians And Non-Christians Are Often Widely Separated From One Another By Social Sub-cultures And Lifestyles As Well As By Different Values, Beliefs And Moral Standards. Only An Incarnation Can Span These Divides, For An Incarnation Means Entering Other People's Worlds, Their Thought-world, And The Worlds Of Their Alienation, Loneliness And Pain. Moreover, The Incarnation Led To The Cross. Jesus First Took Our Flesh, Then Bore Our Sin. This Was A Depth Of Penetration Into Our World In Order To Reach Us, In Comparison With Which Our Little Attempts To Reach People Seem Amateur And Shallow. The Cross Calls Us To A Much More Radical And Costly Kind Of Evangelism Than Most Churches Have Begun To Consider, Let Alone Experience.
