Mark (2) Quotes

“To repent (metanoeō) is to change one’s mind, to embrace new thought patterns, to expand the horizons of current thought and behavior, and to imagine the new attitudes, redeemed social practices, and life-giving patterns of behavior that are consistent with inhabiting God’s kingdom. To “believe the good news” is not merely an intellectual task but involves changing the way we conceive of living so that we order our relationships and plan our days as if the reign of God is a reality and not a pious fantasy. Jesus called for his people to see reality as God sees it, to consider their lives as reconfigured by God’s world-altering and radically new reign.”
― Timothy G. Gombis, Mark
