A batch of the best highlights from what Carla's read, .
The word revelation has a number of synonyms: disclosure, manifestation, epiphany. Jesus discloses what God is like. Jesus is the epiphany of God, a word that means the manifestation on the surface of something from the depths. He is, to return to the metaphors, the Word of God, Wisdom of God, Son of God, and Light of the World.
The Meaning of Jesus
Marcus J. Borg, N. T. Wright
His posture was straight but not rigid, as if he didn’t know how to slouch, only how to take up space.

But this light goes deeper than the skin—it comes from within, from a heart immersed in the source of this joy, like that of Mary Magdalene, who wept over the loss of her Lord and could hardly believe her eyes when she saw He had risen. Whoever experiences this light becomes a witness of the Resurrection, for in a way he himself or she herself has also risen. He or she then shares the ray of light of the Risen One with those who are happy, thereby making them more beautiful by preserving them from selfishness; and with those who are in pain, bringing them serenity and hope.
