Beza: complete the work

Monday, July 12, 2010
Meditation:
    We proclaim [Christ], admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.
    —Colossians 1:28-29 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Cover, Lord, what has been: govern what shall be. Oh, perfect that which Thou hast begun, that I suffer not shipwreck in the haven.
    ... Theodore Beza (1519-1605), his last words, quoted in The Last Hours of Eminent Christians, Henry Clissold, London: Rivingtons, 1829, p. 169 (see the book)
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, even when I am discouraged, Your Spirit is working through the Gospel to complete me. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
