After Communion

By Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

WHY should I call Thee Lord, Who art my God?

Why should I call Thee Friend, Who art my Love?

Or King, Who art my very Spouse above?

Or call Thy Sceptre on my heart Thy rod?

Lo now Thy banner over me is love,

Apocalyptic and the Beauty of God

Isaiah 65. 17-25; Revelation 21.9-27

a sermon at Harvard Memorial Church, October 22 2006 by the William Belden Noble Lecturer, Bishop N. T. Wright (Bishop of Durham)

'And I saw a new heaven and a new earth.' You might well suppose that this would be the reaction of the delighted Englishman, arriving once more in Harvard and gazing at the beauty all around, drinking in the fresh wisdom from lively young minds, thrilled with the energy of a youthful country after the weary cynicism of the tired old world the other side of the Atlantic. And I do indeed sense something of that, as I find myself here again and am delighted and honoured to be invited to occupy this pulpit almost exactly seven years since the last time. There is something perennially appealing about a place that manages to combine historic roots with fresh life, and I thank God for this place and for the privilege of having a tiny share in its life and story. Maybe not exactly a new heaven and new earth, then, but at least a place with newness in its bones and in its air; which fact presents a challenge as well as an opportunity.

Knowledge of the Holy

Details: Hits: 7855

The Knowledge of the Holy by A. W. Tozer was originally published in 1961 but has become a modern classic treatise about the attributes of God. Tozer (1897-1963), an evangelical theologian and pastor, helps us understand the nature of God through thoughtful discussion about such topics as: thinking rightly about God, His immutability, God’s Holiness, Devine wisdom, transcendence, justice, and mercy, to name a few.

This short book is divided into 23 chapters; each on a different attribute. Each chapter is short but all 'meat', making it a great resource for individual Bible study or small group discussion. It can be found in paperback for a few dollars or downloaded from several free Internet locations. The Knowledge of the Holy is a must study for all Christians.

Consequently, these engaging lectures are written in a simple style, with everyday examples, and possess a periodic humor and charm. Finney's theology in these lectures is controversial--some have found it liberating, while others have publicly denounced it.

So if you're serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don't shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ - that's where the action is. See things from his perspective. Your old life is dead. Your new life, which is your real life - even though invisible to spectators - is with Christ in God. He is your life. Colossians 3:1-3

Malcolm Gladwell, in his book Outliers: The Story of Success, pinpoints the secret that establishes Tiger Woods, Bill Gates and countless others at the top of their profession. 10,000 hours was the length of time required to lift their skill level above that of the average person.
