• To ignore, repress, or dismiss our feelings is to fail to listen to the stirrings of the Spirit within our emotional life. Jesus listened. In John's Gospel we are told that Jesus was moved with the deepest emotions (11:33)... The gospel portrait of the beloved Child of Abba is that of a man exquisitely attuned to His emotions and uninhibited in expressing them. The Son of Man did not scorn of reject feelings as fickle and unreliable. They were sensitive antennae to which He listened carefully and through which He perceived the will of His Father for congruent speech and action.

• El peso acumulativo de todos los pecados mortales -pasados, presentes y futuros- sobre aquella Alma perfecta, sin pecado y sensible. Todas nuestras dolencias y enfermedades fueron de alguna manera, también, una parte de la terrible aritmética de la Expiación. (Véase Alma 7:11-12; Isaías 53:3-5; Mateo 8:17.) El angustiado Jesús no sólo suplicó al Padre que la hora y la copa pasaran de Él, sino con esta cita pertinente. Y dijo: Abba, Padre, todas las cosas te son posibles; aparta de mí esta copa' (Marcos 14:35-36.)

• Si fe, entonces nuevo nacimiento; si nuevo nacimiento, entonces filiación; si filiación, entonces "heredero de Dios y coheredero con Cristo". Pero si no has puesto tu pie en el peldaño más bajo de la escalera, nunca llegarás a ver el bendito rostro de Aquel que está en la cima de ella, y que te mira en este momento, diciéndote: "Hijo mío, ¿no me clamarás en este momento: Abba, Padre?

• How do you view God in a desert? There's two types of birds. There's vultures, and there's hummingbirds. One lives off dead carcasses, rotting meat. The other lives off the beautiful, sweet, nectar in a particular flower, on a particular desert plant, in the same desert. They both find what they're looking for. Do you know - take it all the way back into the Old Testament - and the Muslim and you, we actually serve the same God. Allah, to a Muslim; to us, Abba Father, God.
