warning of that judgment—we must not turn our gospel message into one of how super people are, and how God can offer one or two upgrades to their innate awesomeness. No—we must be clear that the gospel tells us how dreadful we really are, and how in need of God’s mercy we are, and how undeserved yet unfailing that mercy is. The gospel is not, I was a little anxious and I needed peace or, I was a little lost and needed some direction in my life or, I was somewhat poor financially and needed some cash.
