Many times a "final" farewell surrounds the death of a friend or loved one, but Christ’s farewell was about comfort, vision, and encouragement to his disciples and the Church.

Thanks to Constantine’s move, the church gradually began to think of its universality as power rather than as an evangelical mandate. Christ is to be lord of our political life, our cultural life, our everyday life -- every aspect.

It was said of one preacher that “for tender minds he served up half a Christ.” Behind that lie two realities – first, that many of us don’t want the full gospel, we’d rather just ...read more
