Newton: the school of Christ

Friday, February 7, 2014
Meditation:
    The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God. For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
    —Psalm 69:32-33 (KJV)
Quotation:
    I am persuaded that love and humility are the highest attainments in the school of Christ and the brightest evidences that he is indeed our master.
    ... John Newton (1725-1807), in a letter, 1757, The Works of the Rev. John Newton, v. II, New York: Williams and Whiting, 1810, p. 62 (see the book)
