CQOD: 02/19/08 -- Packer: the one solution still

Christian Quotation of the Day

February 19, 2008Meditation:
    Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test?
    -- 2 Corinthians 13:5 (NIV)

Quotation:
    What, after all, are the world’s deepest problems? They are what they always have been, the individual’s problems—the meaning of life and death, the mastery of self, the quest for value and worth-whileness and freedom within, the transcending of loneliness, the longing for love and a sense of significance, and for peace. Society’s problems are deep, but the individual’s problems go deeper; Solzhenitsyn, Dostoyevsky, or Shakespeare will show us that, if we hesitate to take it from the Bible.
    ... James I. Packer (b.1926), “Jesus Christ the Lord: The New Testament Doctrine of the Incarnation”, in Obeying Christ in a Changing World, J.R.W. Stott, ed., Vol. 1: The Lord Christ. London: Collins, 1977

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, in Your grace, make my faults known to me, and enable me to amend my ways.
