Look!
Contributed by Dr. Fred W. Penney on Dec 30, 2024 (message contributor)
E. Stanley Jones, Methodist Doctor and Missionary to India once wrote:
The early Christians did not say: "Look what the world has come to!" -
but, "Look what has come to the world."
They saw not merely the ruin, but the resource for the reconstruction of that ruin.
They saw not merely that sin did abound, but that grace did much more abound.
On that assurance the pivot of history swung from blank despair, loss of moral nerve, and fatalism, to faith and confidence that at last sin had met its match.
