WORDS OF WISDOM

n the Gospels people were awe-struck by the person of Jesus whenever they met Him. When that woman of the streets walked in and saw Jesus, she was shocked! She had loved many men, and then she saw Him. The purity, which she felt, that greatness, filled her soul with deep yearnings. She stood and poured out her inexpressible confusion of life in hot tears which, to her horror, fell on His feet, as if she had polluted that sacred Person. She hastily tried to dry off those unclean tears and could find nothing with which to do it except her lavish hair. Never had she had such an experience – she was looking into the eyes of the infinite Son of God. He was all that mattered – He was the End, the Peak of life, and she had found Him. Her lovers were empty wrecks, her old life a discarded earthenware pot. Glamor? There was no other glory now, only that of Christ, her Saviour. That’s Him, Jesus, our blessed Redeemer! “O, what a Savior…” Please tell me, if you love HIM. REINHARD BONNKE
