One of the Walter Brueggemann quotes I think of often:
“The prophet engages in futuring fantasy. The prophet does not ask if the vision can be implemented, for questions of implementation are of no consequence until the vision can be imagined. The imagination must come before the implementation.

"…love is the first comforter, & where love and truth speak, the love will be felt where the truth is never perceived. Love indeed is the highest in all truth; & the pressure of a hand, a kiss, the caress of a child, will do more to save sometimes than the wisest argument, even rightly understood.

On Holy Wednesday, Judas agrees to betray Jesus. Judas had been with Jesus for three years as one of his 12 disciples. It’s a painful, tragic event containing so many lessons. Here’s one of them:
Being around Jesus doesn’t automatically mean we are being formed by Jesus.

" It may be centuries of ages before a man comes to see a truth—ages of strife, of effort, of aspiration. But when once he does see it, it is so plain that he wonders he could have lived without seeing it. That he did not understand it sooner was simply and only that he did not see it..."
