... But holiness is in wild and furious opposition to all such banality and blandness. We are introduced to it through the stories of the burning bush in Midian, the mountain on fire at Sinai, the smoke- and angel-filled temple in Jerusalem. We find ourselves in the presence of God alive, with life far in excess of anything we imagined. This God-life cannot be domesticated or used; it can only be entered into on its own terms. Moses and Isaiah walked out of those stories on fire themselves, energized for lifelong, life-giving vocations. Holiness did not make God smaller so they could use God in convenient and manageable projects. It made those men larger so God could give out life through them, extravagantly, spontaneously."
- The Beauty of Holiness, As Kingfishers Catch Fire, Peterson
거룩이란 하나님을 작게 만들어 다루기 편하게 하는 것이 아니다. 거룩은 믿음의 사람들을 더 크게 만들고 그래서 하나님은 그들을 통해 삶을 주신다. 아주 엄청나고도 즉흥적으로!
