Feasting on the Word— Year B, Volume 1 Quotes

“Jesus’ mission was not to make a big deal of himself or to elevate his followers to positions of power, authority, and prestige through identification with him. It was rather to point through and beyond himself to God and to God’s coming reign on earth, and to invite his followers to find their voice in bearing witness to this transforming, redemptive God”
― David L. Bartlett, Feasting on the Word— Year B, Volume 1: Advent through Transfiguration
