CQOD: 01/03/08 -- Law: solid bases for hope

Christian Quotation of the Day

January 3, 2008

Commemoration of Gladys Aylward, Missionary in China, 1970

Meditation:
    Jesus said to [Martha], "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
    -- John 11:25,26 (NIV)

Quotation:
    If Religion has raised us into a new world, if it has filled us with new ends of life, if it has taken possession of our hearts, and altered the whole turn of our minds, if it has changed all our ideas of things, given us a new set of hopes and fears, and taught us to live by the realities of an invisible world—then we may humbly hope that we are true followers of the Holy Jesus, and such as may rejoice in the Day of Christ.
    ... William Law (1686-1761), A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life [1728]

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, in You alone I have life abundant.
