John 18:33-38a
Chris Breslin
“A king who dies on the cross must be the king of a rather strange kingdom.” -Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“The offering of gold, frankincense, and myrrh are completed by the caganer’s offering of [crap].” -Adam Hearlson, The Holy No: Worship as a Subversive Act
“As a preacher of the gospel for a great many years, I testify that this message makes less sense to me now than it did when I got started. It is all so irreligious, so unspiritual, so unreasonable. But that is precisely the point that Paul makes when he says that the gospel of the crucified Lord is a scandal to Jewish people and foolishness to gentile people.” -Fleming Rutledge, Advent: The Once and Future Coming of Jesus Christ
