"This man has done nothing wrong. Maybe this means that he is the only one who has been able fully to resist our ceaseless craving to take one more step behind the other's sin to claim, "You're wrong, but I'm right." If so, how this only one who has never done wrong behaves when the whole world mockingly assures him "we're right; you're wrong" may be worth copying."

"...that's your job—or your privilege—to point to how and where God happens, to call people to be participants in the process. It will take all your creativity and all your courage to get it right, all your poetry and all your prowess to get a hearing. But, give it a shot! You might be amazed to find out what God can do through people he has set free. And so might they!"
