"Followers of Jesus regularly have to relearn the meaning of words corrupted by our culture and debased by our sin. Jesus is the dictionary in which we look up the meaning of words."
"Jesus is our access to creation as the time and place to believe. ... Jesus draws us into a pervasive awareness of Spirit, training us as 'detectives of divinity' to interpret the signs and understand the sayings as evidence of the unseen yet unmistakable presence of God."
- Eugene Peterson, Christ Plays In Ten Thousand Places
I read this just this morning and am all the more excited about pushing through the illusions to embrace the allusions (see previous post) of the divine that are all around us.
May your day be ablaze with the slivers of glory that illuminate the eternal in the ordinary...
