Perhaps you’ve boarded a plane with your kids in tow, and seen the pained expressions on the faces of the other passengers. You may as well have killed a puppy in front of them. The scowls and sighs belie a cultural mood that is far from Jesus’ Kingdom.

A Dragon's Lair No More (The Inescapable Story of Jesus #16)

October 20, 2024 • Ben Zornes • Mark 16

One of the physical responses to fear is the inability to speak. When you are frightened, you tighten up. When you are flustered, words come with difficulty. Fear leads to silence. If monsters are on the prowl, you put your hand over your mouth. You hide in terror. You pull the blankets over your head. But what happens when the fear passes away? You suddenly find your outdoor voice.

The Cup He Drank (The Inescapable Story of Jesus #15)

October 13, 2024 • Ben Zornes • Mark 15

There is not a more familiar image in Western Civilization than Jesus upon the cross. Its familiarity must never blunt the truth of what it means. Its prevalence should never shroud how shocking it is. Its ubiquity can never dull the shine from its glory.

Awaking from the Dream (The Inescapable Story of Jesus #14b)

October 6, 2024 • Ben Zornes • Mark 14:43–72

Dreams are strange things. But they are not, as the materialists would insist, just the chemical and electrical boings and bongs of the grey matter. You’ve certainly had pleasant dreams that you don’t want to awake from. On the other hand, you’ve probably had the unpleasant experience of a night terrors that you greatly desire to wake up from, but can’t seem to. Then there are dreams that in retrospect gave you a glimpse into the future. Long lay the world in slumber. Jesus came to wake man up.
