Prayer & Meditation

“People all over the world — outside the church and in — are looking for an escape, a way out from under the crushing weight to life this side of Eden. But there is no escaping it… That’s why Jesus doesn’t offer us an escape. He offers us something far better: ‘equipment.’ He offers his apprentices a whole new way to bear the weight of our humanity: with ease. At his side. Like two oxen in a field, tied shoulder to shoulder. With Jesus doing all the heavy lifting.”
