“It seems to me that many of you have come to think that Jesus is God in the beauty and ecstasies of the mountains but that he isn’t human in the way we are human. At the very center of the Christian gospel is the conviction that Jesus is as much human as he is God. He is as much with us in the valley as in the mountains. And the evidence is that he loves us and that we are able to love him—personal, relational qualities.”
