"Relevancy"

Here's a good quote from John Piper on Jesus Christ and relevancy...

"The glory of Jesus Christ is that he is always out of sync with the world and therefore always relevant for the world. If he fit nicely, he would be of little use. The effort to remake the Jesus of the Bible so that he fits the spirit of one generation makes him feeble in another. Better to let him be what he is, because it is often the offensive side of Jesus that we need most. [Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ]"
