Scot McKnight Quotes

• Los que no siguen a Jesús no son sus seguidores. Así de simple. Los seguidores siguen, y los que no siguen no son seguidores. Seguir a Jesús significa seguir a Jesús en una sociedad en la que reine la justicia, en la que el amor lo moldee todo. Seguir a Jesús significa asumir su sueño y trabajar por él.

• God was on the move; God is on the move; and God will always be on the move. Those who walk with God and listen to God are also on the move. Reading the Bible so we can live it out today means being on the move—always. Anyone who stops and wants to turn a particular moment into a monument, as the disciples did when Jesus was transfigured before them, will soon be wondering where God has gone.

• We need to shed our unearthly and nonsocial and idealistic and romantic and uber-spiritual visions of kingdom and get back to what Jesus meant. By kingdom, Jesus means: God's Dream Society on earth, spreading out from the land of Israel to encompass the whole world.

• On politics I strive as much as possible to let my passions be for God and for the Church and for others (the Jesus Creed). I place no confidence in redemption by way of politics. The political hope ebbs and flows every 8 years now; I don't get all riled up if a Republican or a Democrat wins; I don't think it matters that much to what we are called to do on a daily basis.

• Muchos piensan que Jesús vino a la tierra para que tú y yo podamos tener un tipo especial de experiencia espiritual y luego seguir adelante alegremente, siempre y cuando recemos y leamos nuestras Biblias y desarrollemos intimidad con el Dios invisible, pero ignoremos la vida orientada a los demás de justicia y amor y paz que Jesús encarnó.

• The idea that relationships are not a strategy is potent; and the sad commentary proceeds to say that often relationships are seen as a strategy, a means to accomplish great things - except love and relationship are not what is really wanted. We want to appear relational so people will like what we have to offer. It's the difference between wanting a good marriage and loving the person you married.

• I've never spoken with an angel, though one time I felt the awesome weight and glory of God's presence in an angel in my bedroom as I kneeled in prayer. I kept my eyes closed, good Baptist that I was at the time, so I never knew if it was an angel. (I now am reasonably confident it was.)

• The angels of the Bible terrify the humans to whom they visit; they startle and scare and even stun the humans. Why? Because in the Bible angels are colossal figures, fiery in light and, more often than not, overwhelming in their power. Angels, then, in the Bible are supernatural beings that humble us in their presence.
