“Our delight is tickled as we see Christ concealed in the Old and revealed in the New.”
― Jason Byassee, Surprised by Jesus Again: Reading the Bible in Communion with the Saints

“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.”

“God, on Christian lights, isn’t just high, lofty, far away, distant, unsullied with us. God, in Christian thought, is Jewish. Human. Not just great and holy but little and lowly. ... God becomes our neighbour. ... If it takes a neighbour’s desire to set ours alight, then the one living and true God will become that flesh-and-blood neighbour.”

“All we can do is work on our own delight. And encourage others' delight. Teach with the sort of passion that marks the best teachers.”
