World Communion: Encircling Christ
By Rev. Dr. Fritz Ritsch
October 6, 2013
“Lest anyone, then, be excluded from access to happiness, God not only sowed in human minds that seed of religion of which we have spoken but revealed Himself and daily discloses Himself in the whole workmanship of the universe. As a consequence, people cannot open their eyes without being compelled to see him.” John Calvin, Institutes of Faith, I. V. i.
Philip Newell writes that his infant son Cameron liked to take his midday nap in his carriage in the wooded backyard of their home in England. “One day, toward the end of Cameron’s nap when I thought he would soon be waking, I went out to the yard. There he was, lying on his back in the carriage, fully awake but perfectly still. He was looking at the light dappling through the leaves of a fig tree. I paused to watch him. After a while, he lifted his arms to the light in a type of response. I was witnessing a communion with the Glory that dapples through creation. As I stood watching Cameron, I remembered, perhaps the earliest memory of my life, doing exactly the same thing as an infant, lying under a tree watching light dapple.” [1]
