" Jesus is often seen as someone who can “teach” you to play the piano, so that you can perform Mozart and Beethoven. But Jesus was more like someone who had just invented an entirely new musical instrument, had written some stunning music for it, and was now “teaching” people to play the new music on the new instrument. Jesus was announcing that a whole new world was being born and he was “teaching” people how to live within that whole new world. "
