THE CHRISTIAN QUOTATION OF THE DAY
Christ, our Light
Thursday, December 21, 2017

Everlasting life, I came to see, is not just continued existence, but a growing knowledge—not merely intellectual but wondering through trust, love, and fellowship—of Him who alone is truly God, and Jesus Christ whom He has sent.
