> "…..and I sensed the need of something for life which would give me strength to resist daily temptations. This something was the saving power and sustaining power of Jesus Christ." -- When I read these words this morning it hit me in a fresh way how very important it is that we are influenced by other persons. The life and influence of Jesus Christ has been the subject of debate, argument, acceptance and rejection ever since he walked the dusty roads of Palestine. But the simple truth is that this human being was so in sinc with the Spirit of God that they were one and the same. It is that reality that carries through the years to this moment. It is not that his influence is leap frogging from his time here to now, but that he influenced persons of his day and so from generation to generation persons have come under that influence and been transformed. When Jesus says, "You are light of the world….." he is addressing the reality that as he has influenced those of his day so do we influence in our time for the Spirit of Truth flows endlessly and becomes personal in each human who says YES to "God is Love." ------ well, just some ponderings this morning…..
