Tim Keller | November 6, 2016
If this was a movie, it would be noir: the poignant, tragic account of Jesus talking to Judas the night before Jesus dies. And this account of what happens to Judas is instructive for us for this reason: every culture struggles with the gospel at some point.
The gospel challenges every culture somewhere. In some non-Western cultures, they struggle with what the gospel says about free forgiveness and non-retaliation. But in our relativistic Western cultures, we mainly struggle with what the Bible says about sin.
John 13 tells us quite a bit about sin: 1) the nature and enormity of sin, 2), the power of sin, and 3) the only medicine for it.

In The Prodigal God, Tim Keller examines the way Jesus presents the parable to speak both to those who run from God and to those who try to earn his love by being good. It reveals the heart of the gospel—a message of hope for both the rebellious younger brother and the judgmental older brother, and an invitation for all to experience God’s grace.
