Passage: Acts 15:1-29
The gospel of Jesus is not something that WE do, but something that HE did. It is for everyone! And this, this is what sets up the first church fight in the Bible. Our tendency as people is toward legalism and exclusion, but Jesus and his followers push for inclusion. All are welcome at the table.

- "I've got the choice of believing two impossible things. I can either believe that the world is constituted so that God took on flesh and was crucified and rose three days later or I can believe that human beings invented this unbelievably preposterous story that has stretched into every atom of culture. And it isn't obvious to me that the second hypothesis is any easier to believe than the first. Because the more you investigate the manifestations of the story of Christ the more insanely complicated and far-reaching it becomes." -Jordan Peterson
