A note to suggest that living in the Light of Christ is something more challenging than knowing what to do, or what comes next. As you dwell with your name, in your skin, living alongside the Lord as your brother places you at risk. There is less of sublime reflection, I think, than a kind of parallel exposure. The scriptural basis for this observation is to note that nowhere does the Lord or his disciples say, "Golly, you won't believe what I just heard!"
No, the word of God is received as apparent, if almost always slightly wonderful. There would be little point or principle in being, let's say, shocked by such truths or directions as originate from our one and only true, unremitting self.
