““Indeed, the telos for a Christian is Christ: Jesus Christ is the very embodiment of what we're made for, of the end to which we are called…and how does this happen? By being regularly immersed in the drama of God in Christ reconciling the world to himself, which is precisely the point of Christian worship--to invite us into that story over and over again, 'character-izing' us as we rehearse the gospel drama over and over.””
