The Gospel is bad news before it is good news. It is the the news that man is a sinner, to use the old word, that he is evil in the imagination of his heart, that when he looks in the mirror all in a lather what he sees is at least eight parts chicken, phony, slob. That is the tragedy.
-Frederick Buechner, The Gospel as Tragedy, Comedy, and Fairytale
