More from Jesus Among Other Gods by Zacharias:
It is possible to hold a treasure in your hand but be ignorant of it and go for the wrapping instead.
Jesus took pains to show them that their preoccupation with bread as the primary purpose and expression of enjoyment had seriously displaced both what bread was meant to do and what life was meant to be.
In short, if we are to truly understand who we are, we must understand what bread can and cannot do.
We are not in need merely of a superior ethic. We are in need of a transformed heart and will that seek to do the will of God.
… the task of the Church is not to make God relevant to the people as much as it is to make people relevant to God.
And from The Pursuit of God by Tozer:
The “other world” which is the object of this world’s disdain and the the subject of the drunkard’s mocking song, is our carefully chosen goal and the object of our holiest longing.
Peace.
Great quotes. I especially appreciate the quote about relevance. How often do we get that wrong.
