Top Highlights
“How can I meet Him in a similar way? How can I allow Jesus to transform my life?” (Page xv)
“While Nicodemus may have wanted to have a theological discussion about the source of miraculous power, Jesus wanted something different. Nicodemus would soon learn that Jesus wasn’t just a teacher come from God; He was God come to teach.” (Page 19)
“The people who met Jesus up close were profoundly transformed.” (Page xv)
“As you gain new insights into His style, His promises, and even His challenges and rebukes, your relationship with Him will grow. Someone once noted that ‘God is never greater than our present understanding of Him.’ In other words, we will relate to God only at the level that we know Him.” (Page 9)
“Faith would be the key that would unlock the door to God’s Kingdom.” (Page 23)
