I was neck-deep within the new age movement until I came across a book called "The Reason For God" by Timothy Keller. This book opened up so many doors for me in terms of understanding the true nature of Jesus and the Gospel. 3 months later and I'm now a devout follower of Christ. I'll forever be grateful for your profound ministry and it's influence in my radical transformation and return to Jesus.

Thank you for teaching me the Gospel! I'm 56, was confirmed a Lutheran as a boy, also prayed the prayer at 13, but lived a life alternating between effort and sin (maybe not much different after all) until very recently. Now, through understanding my disordered loves and idols, Christ has set me free from that! How restful it is.

Thank you for this teaching. I live in Prague, the most atheist city in the world, and proud of it. Yet we are allowed to do worship on the streets. Last week I was told by two Satan worshipers, that "us fanatics are popping up everywhere in this city." That's the best compliment anyone could give a christian! I'll pray this for your city.

😢 only you, Jesus, can bring tears of joy from my heart.. you are my savior. I found my rock at rock bottom.

"Come see a man who knew me to the bottom, but loved me to the Skies"

Truly Beautiful.

You feel this way too when you see God work a miracle in your

[marcelwillieniles]

By the grace of GOD Tim Keller has so much insight into the scriptures...very thankful!

[Broughtolife]

This is one of the most beautiful presentations of the Gospel I've ever heard. To be fully known, and fully loved, that is heaven. Wow

[phoenixred]

Praise God for what you are doing. As an X-New Yorker born in Manhattan I hate to see the city going back to 1970's trash. The city needs the Lord. The city needs to see people who care.

There are a lot of preachers. Not a lot pastors. A few pastoring preachers in each generation. Keller is a gift to we dumber sheep. 40 years and a great wife. (?) This is a great sermon. This is a great message. Listen up. "Come see a Man". 'Just come see Jesus.

Thank goodness for Jesus. Thanks Tim, LA is overwhelming a lot and you are my friend and want the best for me. lol lol Thanks

I liked the point of "Jesus simplicity." Keller said, "The Christian faith is just Jesus." So often we look to religion for a way to God, a spiritual or moral path. But in Christianity Jesus simply offers himself as the way. Jesus is not just the teacher and founder of the faith. He is the faith, the life, and he is God.

I have to tell people about this. This is soooo beautiful!

Thank you for the sermon, I learn more in one session than ten Sundays in church.

Getting ready to start grad school at what seems like a fairly "liberal" public university; this was good encouragement for how to be Christ in places not exactly open towards the Gospel.

HE died for us > Tim Keller you legend

[mtcstyle]

Good word. The part about giving in the way you received resonated with me.
Lao Tzu said, "He who knows doesn't speak. He who speaks doesn't know." I get the impression many outspoken evangelicals speak not to convince their neighbor but themselves of the truth.
Perhaps what is needed is a reevaluation of the manner in which the gospel has been received by those professing it.
