I have been told that I need to believe in Jesus. Which is a good thing. But what I am learning is that Jesus believes in me.

The Christian faith is mysterious to the core. It is about things and beings that ultimately can't be put into words. Language fails. And if we do definitively put God into words, we have at that very moment made God something God is not.
