“What can strip the seeming beauty, from the idols of the earth? Not a sense of right or duty, but the sight of peerless worth.”
— Ora Rowan, Hast thou Heard Him, Seen Him, Known Him
A Living, Breathing Love (1 John 3:19-24)
“Very early in the morning on the first day of the week, before anyone had done a stroke of work or acquired a jot of merit, he rose from the sepulchre, bringing new life to his disciples. What then began had nothing to do with last week's work or last week's sins; they all seemed centuries away. The old world for Christ's disciples had ended in calamity, had gone down into a gulf of darkness; the earth had crumbled under their feet, they had nothing to stand upon. But here was something as new as the creation of the world where no world was; new life straight from the hands of the only living God.”
