Colin Gunton says, “…Jesus is the eternal Word of God in person, yet without being in any way less human than we are; in fact, being more truly human.”

Looking around me and seeing how broken mankind is, it gives me hope to see that this brokenness is not reflective of true humanity, but a push away from humanity. Jesus, in His love and servanthood, represents true humanity and He calls me to become more human by being like Him.

Reading John D. Zizioulas’ Being As Communion and reflecting on community and the truths we’ve learned over these years about relationships and the nature of the Church, I had this thought about freedom:

Freedom is not the ability to choose between different possibilities, but to be capable of communion.
