Commonplace Quote
But if Christ is the fulfillment of all the legends of the Corn King—if he is truly the myth that became fact—then the God of the Bible is not just the God of the Jews but of all the nations. Christians believe that the events of Good Friday and Easter Sunday fulfilled the messianic (special-revelation-produced) prophecies recorded in the Old Testament. What Lewis learned from Tolkien is that Christ fulfilled as well all the deepest (general-revelation-produced) yearnings of the pagan peoples.
~ Louis Markos
Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.
~ Corrie Ten Boom
