Shepherd: witness to facts

Tuesday, March 11, 2014
Meditation:
    And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
    —1 Corinthians 15:17 (NIV)
Quotation:
    The Gospel is not presented to mankind as an argument about religious principles. Nor is it offered as a philosophy of life. Christianity is a witness to certain facts—to events that have happened, to hopes that have been fulfilled, to realities that have been experienced, to a Person who has lived and died and been raised from the dead to reign for ever.
    ... Massey H. Shepherd, Jr. (1913-1990), Far and Near

Quiet time reflection:
    Do I think about philosophy and ideas instead of enjoying the presence of Jesus in my heart? CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
