Quotes from Text

  • “[As] we . . . anxiously tear open a letter sent to us from a loved one . . . so too let us open the Word of God, written in human words, and read it with all of our hearts, our souls, our minds, and our strength.”
  • “Because Christ himself is the eternal Word who is not subject to time, there is a real sense in which the many human words of Scripture . . . all come together to speak of Christ, the living Word of God.”
