• It is because Jesus Christ experienced cosmic thirst on the cross that you and I can have our spiritual thirst satisfied. It is because he died that we can be born again. And he did it gladly.

That is the gospel, and it is the same for skeptics, believers, insiders, outcasts, and everyone in between.
