Quotes by Sally Lloyd-Jones

But Jesus could see inside people. And inside, in their hearts, Jesus saw that they did not love God or other people. They were running away from God, and they thought they didnt need a rescuer. They thought they were good enough because they kept the rules. But sin had stopped their hearts from working properly. And their hearts were hard and cold. This woman knows shes a sinner, Jesus told them. She knows shell never be good enough. She knows she needs me to rescue her. Thats why she loves me so much. You look down on this woman because you dont look up to God. She is sinful on the outside-but you are sinful on the inside.

Jesus told them, God is like the dad who couldnt stop loving his boy, And people are like the son who said, Does my dad really want me to be happy? Jesus told people this story to show them what God is like. And to show people what they are like. So they could know, however far they ran, however well they hid, however lost they were- it wouldnt matter. Because Gods children could never run to far, or be too lost, for God to find them.

And one day, God would send another baby, a baby promised to a girl who didnt even have a husband. But this baby would bring laughter to the whole world. This baby would be everyones dream come true.

Even death is going to die!
