Isaiah 53
Chris Breslin
“God’s ‘yes’ will always have the final say over our ‘no.’ God’s justice will always have the final say over our injustice.” -Mika Edmonson, The Power of Unearned Suffering: The Roots and Implications of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Theodicy
“…power is a gift and is principally given for setting people free.” -Sam Wells, Power and Passion: Six Characters in Search of Resurrection
“…if my response to your vulnerability is to cut you off from the vulnerable ones of the world, then I maim your soul and distance you from Christ.” “[saying No to suffering can] be a way of keeping suffering ones at bay, of wrapping yourself in privilege and shutting out the reality of the world.” -Natalie Carnes, Motherhood: A Confession
