" I learned from Job that sometimes things happen in the world that don’t make much sense to us human beings. I learned from Abraham what it’s like to have your name changed. I learned from the apostle Philip that sometimes you have to say yes to God even when you have no idea what God is doing. And of course I learned from Jesus, who after his resurrection chose to show his body to the disciples—a body that was scarred and transformed, and yet still his own. "
