Living in the Question: Meditations in the Style of Lectio Divina (Pennington)
Pennington observes: "It is good to live in the question. A pat answer is closed. It is finished; that's it. It goes no where and leaves little room for hope. A question opens space for us. It is full of possibility. Our faith, solid as it might be, is full of questions, and therefore full of life and hope." The quest in Jesus' questions takes us deeper into ourselves and expands our hearts in such a way that love becomes the only response to a neighbor in need or an enemy who's at our throats.
