“When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandise the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something’s suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful.” — Barbara Bloom

To immerse yourself in the gospels is to see that Jesus was the ultimate storyteller. He packaged up eternal truths in contextually powerful stories that proved to be contagious. He created and carried a radical Kingdom culture through the extraordinary way he communicated. In my eyes, Jesus was the most significant cultural architect that humanity will ever come across. He spoke grace, relationship and spirituality into the brokenness of culture. He offered something different, something real, something radical.
