 | The Christ is not the one who wins the power struggle; he is the one who loses it. The Christ is not the undefeated champion; he is the suffering servant, the broken one, who comes into his glory with his wounds still visible. Those hurt places are the proof that he is who he says he is, because the way you recognize the Christ--and his followers--is not by their muscles but by their scars. – Barbara Brown Taylor Readings: Luke 24:13-35 The Servant Girl at Emmaus (A Painting by Velazquez) by Denise Levertov |
