Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @sentantiq Hmm. I was looking elsewhere but I wonder if the central imperative of the Jesus Event marks a defining threshold in this regard. Why?

It almost feels profane to say it, but isn’t this what love is? Freedom, liberation, fullness? Life fully alive and in love? The most fruitful and liberating power? Love transcending.
