Discipleship Quote by Eugene Kennedy

“(re: Matthew 4) " 'Give in for now': what a strange thing for Jesus to say to a steadfast and protesting prophet; and yet what a comforting thing for those of us who cannot live in fiercely absolute ways. ... Jesus the Lord enters our life as it is and calls us not away but more deeply into it.” quote by Eugene Kennedy — Download Open image
