Philippians 3:8 (NIV)
8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of
the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I
have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ
“Where is Jesus Christ?” Innumerable students are studying
Him and deciding whether or not Christ and the Gospel really matter-whether He
is relevant in this modern age. C.S. Lewis, a professor of Medieval and
Renaissance Literature at Oxford and later at Cambridge, had to do the same
thing. He spent his life exploring the great literature of centuries. In his
remarkable autobiography, Surprised by Joy, he tells of his pilgrimage
from atheism to Christianity. His turning point came with the realization that
the writing with the deepest meaning and greatest content was based on a deep,
personal faith in God, by men like Augustine, Blaise Pascal, George Macdonald.
Thought for today: Do I strive to walk closer to God?
