"Sometimes we're strangely surprised when we've given someone an honest word and they don't say 'Oh, thank you for that rebuke. I have felt pride welling up in my heart all morning and I've just been waiting to be humbled. Thank you, you've really blessed me.'"

"Peter keeps on insisting, but Jesus is quiet. What you're looking at there is Jesus' dependence on his heavenly Father."

"One of the features of modern culture is a tendency for people, when they've been sinned against, to demand that that the other person have a full and complete confession. It can lead to small wounds becoming big wounds. It's a demand that the other person have a complete understanding of everything evil they've done to you. But here, Jesus actually kind of crafts a poem."
