CQOD: 01/27/06 -- Paton: God's will in Christian missions

Christian Quotation of the Day

January 27, 2006Meditation:
    This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him.
    -- Eph. 3:12 (ESV)

Quotation:
    The Christian Mission is thus anchored in dogma, is a result of what ordinary Christians believe. It is God’s plan, God’s activity; but because God became man and took up manhood into Himself, it is God’s will embodied in active obedience on the part of the Christian individual, the Christian group within the Church, and the Christian Church as a whole—we are all involved in it, all of us, in our various callings.
    ... David M. Paton (b.1913), Christian Missions and the Judgment of God [1953]
