Provocative Grace

“The Jesus of the Gospels, in all his modes of encountering people as prophet, healer, wisdom teacher, Mystic, social critic and nonviolent revolutionary, is a disturber of our immaturity as one who challenges us to find and use our strength. A master craftsman in the skills that can make us strong in love, generous in service, and abundant in joy, he wants to spur us into a maturity that can collaborate with the love that gave us birth. This love seeks partners in making real the Kingdom, or reign of God, which heals the hearts and develops the life of this world.” -Robert Corin Morris.
