Want to Read $ 13.80"Jesus, of course, does not criticize conscientious work, but he does criticize an attitude common among those who work most diligently... Self-righteousness can come easily to the hard worker."-Peter J. Williams, The Surprising Genius of Jesus: What the Gospels Reveal about the Greatest Teacher
"Esau had reason to be angry, but he responded warmly to his brother's return. If even a person like Esau, who had previously planned to murder his brother, could accept his returning brother, how much more should the older son accept his brother?"-Peter J. Williams, The Surprising Genius of Jesus: What the Gospels Reveal about the Greatest Teacher
"Thus, all four Gospels present us with a teacher who, just like about every other teacher in history, said the same things multiple times. Why think up an epigram like "Judge not, that you be not judged" (Matt. 7:1 ESV; cf. Luke 6:37), a saying like the Golden Rule (Matt. 7:12; Luke 6:31), or a story as captivating as Luke 15:11-32, and use it only once?"-Peter J. Williams, The Surprising Genius of Jesus: What the Gospels Reveal about the Greatest Teacher
