Mascall: the definitive miracle

Commemoration of Crispin & Crispinian, Martyrs at Rome, c.285
Meditation:
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
—John 3:18 (NIV)

Quotation:
If we are prepared to admit, even as a possibility, that Jesus was divine, or even that without being divine he was unique, then we must, as a matter of logic, discard any attempt to discredit the Gospel accounts on the ground that they record abnormal occurrences [i.e. miracles].
... E. L. Mascall (1905-1993), The Secularization of Christianity, London: Darton, Longman & Todd, 1966, p. 211-212 (see the book)
See also John 3:18,21; 5:19; 6:38; 8:28; 12:49-50

Quiet time reflection:
Lord Jesus, You are the greatest of the Father’s miracles.
