John Chrysostom: the mind of the Scriptures

Friday, September 13, 2019
    Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407
Meditation:
    When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
    —1 Corinthians 2:1,2 (NIV)
Quotation:
    It is not possible ever to exhaust the mind of the Scriptures. It is a well that has no bottom.
