Powerful and appropriate. Christ's only word to the man looking to fix his life is that he must die. The only healing He has to offer is Death and Resurrection. Anything else is just a mortician doing your makeup.
I have felt this for many years. Thank you for putting it into words. “When the greater homiletical and ecclesiastical emphasis falls on the church’s work for God rather than on God’s work for the church, you can be sure the evangel has been lost.” Wow!! Nailed it!
