Profound: The life and words of Jesus Christ. I've heard it said that "Jesus Christ continually contradicts us in the way that we experience ourselves as alive, and he compels us to radically redefine what we mean by "life". He encounters us the way that he encountered the disciples on Easter morning. They, the living, were really dead; He, the dead, was really the living."
Simplicity: All that He asks is that we die to ourselves. It may take a different form for all of us, but at its core - that's it. "Die to yourselves and let me live inside of you. Be everything opposite of what the old man will desire - meek, humble, poor in spirit, loving your enemy." He says this is the way to true happiness.
Profound simplicity. It may sound like a paradox, but maybe its the best description I have for Jesus - a profound man with a simple message.
