Quote of the Day


From Macarthur's book, The Master's Plan For the Church:  In Luke 6:46 Jesus says, "Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?'  Reminiscent of that verse is a painting in the cathedral of Lubeck Germany, entitled 'The Lament of Jesus Christ against the Ungrateful World.'  The corresponding poetic text for the painting reads,
You call Me master, and obey Me not;
You call Me light, and see Me not;
You call Me the way, and walk Me not;
You call Me life, and live Me not;
You call Me wise, and follow Me not;
You call Me fair, and love Me not;
You call Me rich, and ask Me not;
You call Me eternal, and seek Me not.
I condemn thee; blame Me not.
