CQOD: 09/27/06 -- MacDonald: the only fear

Christian Quotation of the Day

September 27, 2006

Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660

Meditation:
    Then Pilate said to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world--to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."
    -- John 18:37 (ESV)

---

Quotation:
    If I mistake, He will forgive me. I do not fear Him: I only fear lest, able to see and write these things, I should fail of witnessing and myself be, after all, a castaway—no king but a talker: no disciple of Jesus, ready to go with Him to the death, but an arguer about the truth.
    ... George MacDonald (1824-1905), “Kingship,” Unspoken Sermons, Third Series [1889]

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, grant me true discipleship.
