No erasing the record

Michael D. Rissler

The vitality of Christianity is remarkable. It can be legally repressed and still it survives. Many of its adherents can fall short of its moral and spiritual ideals, yet others will emerge with new conviction of God's grace and love.

I was reading a single New Testament Gospel to see what would cause such reemerging spirituality and vitality.

Clearly, the Gospels are moving documents. Christ Jesus said provocative things, especially in light of the political and social conditions of his day. Often the response of the people was provocative and brings to mind modern scenes when thousands of people join together in public squares to witness a shared call for freedom. Yet as powerful as Jesus' words were, it wasn't simply powerful words that moved so many hearts. The spiritual understanding of man's oneness with God impelled the healing works of the Master and infused his words with the power of Truth.
