Christians don't simply learn or study or use scripture; we assimilate it, take it into our lives in such a way that it gets metabolized into acts of love, cups of cold water, missions into all the world, healing and evangelism and justice in jesus' name, hands raised in adoration of the father, feet washed in company with the son.

More From Eugene H. Peterson

To follow jesus implies that we enter into a way of life that is given character and shape and direction by the one who calls us. to follow jesus means picking up rhythms and ways of doing things that are often unsaid but always derivative from jesus, formed by the influence of jesus. to follow jesus means that we can't separate what jesus is saying from what jesus is doing and the way that he is doing it. to follow jesus is as much, or maybe even more, about feet as it is about ears and eyes" (the way of jesus, eugene h. peterson, 22).

All of history is moving toward one great goal, the white-hot worship of god and his son among all the peoples of the earth. missions exists because worship doesn't. worship is ultimate, not missions, because god is ultimate, not man.... when this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of god, missions will be no more. it is a temporary necessity. but worship abides forever.

To be good christians you have to contemplate the suffering humanity of jesus. "how can we bear witness? contemplate jesus. how can we forgive? contemplate jesus suffering. how can we not hate our neighbor? contemplate jesus suffering. how can we avoid gossiping about our neighbor? contemplate jesus suffering. there is no other way". these virtues are the those of the father, who forgives us always, and our lady, our mother, shares in these virtues too.
Christian Mother Jesus
Christians should live in the world, but not be filled with it. a ship lives in the water; but if the water gets into the ship, she goes to the bottom. so christians may live in the world; but if the world gets into them, they sink.
