Christian Wiman Quotes

One Truth, Then, Is That Christ Is Always Being Remade In The Image Of Man, Which Means That His Reality Is Always Being Deformed To Fit Human Needs, Or What Humans Perceive To Be Their Needs. A Deeper Truth, Though, One That Scripture Suggests When It Speaks Of The Eternal Word Being Made Specific Flesh, Is That There Is No Permutation Of Humanity In Which Christ Is Not Present. If Every Bible Is Lost, If Every Church Crumbles To Dust, If The Last Believer In The Last Prayer Opens Her Eyes And Lets It All Finally Go, Christ Will Appear On This Earth As Calmly And Casually As He Appeared To The Disciples Walking To Emmaus After His Death, Who Did Not Recognize This Man To Whom They Had Pledged Their Very Lives; This Man Whom They Had Seen Beaten, Crucified, Abandoned By God; This Man Who, After Walking The Dusty Road With Them, After Sharing An Ordinary Meal And Discussing The Scriptures, Had To Vanish Once More In Order To Make Them See.
