And when Christ did come to me, and speak to me, and break His silence, it was not in fresh, ecstatic revelations but in plain words already spoken. Not with special things for me but with things he’d told all of us. His Word in the Scripture. The genius, the compassion of Christ is His patient willingness to approach us again—and to do new work in the heart—through what he’s already said and what he’s already done.
