“But Jesus is stubbornly, ferociously committed to his church. ... he'll be there. That's the batch of people through whom he is redeeming the world, impossible as that seems.”

“The point of the Bible isn't to learn what it says. The point of going to church isn't to be more religious. The point of both is to be made into nothing but love of God and neighbor.”

“When we read the Bible christologically, we are not smuggling Jesus in -- we are discovering him there, to our and others' delight. To say otherwise is to fail to read Paul or Luke well. It's to miss that all creation hollers praise. It is to leave the world ungraced, uncharged by the grandeur of God, with no witness to the One who creates and redeems it in Christ.”

“The key to interpretation, as Augustine once told Deogratias, is your delight as an interpreter. Your delight is what your listeners will notice. It is what will return you to the text for more. It is what has a chance to draw in your hearers. It is the tether God has left in your soul with which to draw you to God’s self, and others through you.”
― Jason Byassee, Surprised by Jesus Again: Reading the Bible in Communion with the Saints
