Heather King Quote: Christ, beyond all labels

              "Christ... never performed magic trick miracles; he didn't pull rabbits out of a hat, or produce gold ingots...he never held the people up as sideshow freaks or floor models to show how great he was...

                "Christ subverted all worldly systems - political, familial, financial: not for the sake of being subversive, but because acting with utter integrity is automatically subversive. He was left of the furthest left and right of the furthest right, both radically liberal and radically conservative. In one breath he could say" Honor you father and your mother" (Mark 7:10) and in another, "Let the dead bury their own dead"(Luke 9:60).


  Magnificat,  p.61
