“It is jarring indeed to learn that what he went through in His passion and death is meant for us too; that the invitation He extends is 'Don't weep for me! Join me!' the life He has planned for Christians is a life much like He lived. He was not poor that we might be rich. He was not mocked that we might be honored. He was not laughed at so that we should be lauded. On the contrary, He revealed a picture meant to include you and me.”— The Furious Longing of God, page 112
