April 2010:
“You did not come down [from the Cross] because You did not want to bring man to You by miracles, because You wanted their freely given love rather than the servile rapture of slaves subdued forever by a display of power.”–Fydor Dostoevsky
If I had posted a quote last month during Easter, this is what it would have been, so I am posting it now. It is from probably my second or third favorite author, it is about Jesus, and it does not need more commentary because it makes the point profoundly on its own.
