Emphasis Preaching Journal

There are two types of saints. One reaches the heights of living only with difficulty; always fending off temptations, they fight a long struggle in order to win their souls. The other seems to be saints quite naturally and are like the lines from Wordsworth: "Glad hearts!
Without reproach or blot, Who do thy work, and know it not."

Such was Jonathan who walked, though briefly, across life's stage, with no sign or strain, and his peers saw how lovely human character at its best can be.
