(P)
"... rejoice with unutterable and exalted joy."
Many in our fellowship seem to be closet Moonies, believing as does the Reverend Moon that for the present Satan is the real master of the world. Or they are later-day Manichees, believing that evil may at last triumph or at least hold a divided empire with God.
A Hindu social worker once told Ruth Isabel Seabury, the missionary educator:
I look at you people who are supposed to know that they have a Savior, and I am amazed! They are obviously futile, timid, afraid, lonely. And their acts are often selfish. Do they know they have a Savior? Surely people lifted out of futility and loneliness and selfishness should be joyous and full of hope, and move with confidence among the people of the world, yet frankly, most of them don't. (So Send I You)
On which side of Easter are you living -- before or after? "Why are you weeping?" Again, I say rejoice!
