‘It is ultimately in our own best interest that we become forgiving, repentant, reconciling and reconciled people, because without forgiveness, without reconciliation, we have no future...Forgiveness does not mean condoning what has been done.’ - Desmond Tutu #FreedomDay

‘Why should we not wait patiently for God? We are servants; it becomes servants to be in a waiting posture.’ - Thomas Watson, The Godly Man’s Picture

On this day, April 24, in 387 AD, the great African theologian Augustine of Hippo was baptised. His struggle to hold on to sin gave way to a surrender to Jesus Christ. More here: lexloiz.wordpress.com/2008/10/15/lor…

A great quote that can bring great comfort: ‘God takes care of His servants. He gives them protection: “Thou art My servant; fear not, for I am with thee.”’ - Thomas Watson

‘I have come to believe that the only workable response to unfair pain is hope.’ - Lewis Smedes

‘Godliness is a possession we cannot be robbed of. Force cannot weaken it; age cannot wither it. It outbraves sufferings; it outlives death.’ Thomas Watson

‘Forgiving offers the best hope of creating a new fairness out of past unfairness.’ - Lewis Smedes in his excellent, The Art of Forgiving

What a brilliant, gospel-centred, book this is. ‘Christians are constrained by the imperatives of this Gospel, the Good News of a God who has a bias for sinners contrary to the normal standards of the world.’ - Desmond Tutu on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission @desmondtutu

‘Nearly all the leaders in the black community had been educated in Church mission schools. They said their commitment to reconciliation was due to the influence and witness of the Christian Churches.’ - Desmond Tutu, No Future Without Forgiveness

On this day, 9 April, in 1945 (just before the end of the war) Dietrich Bonhoeffer was hanged by the Nazis.

'A marvellous and mighty paradox has thus occurred, for the death which they thought to inflict on Him as dishonour and disgrace has become the glorious monument to death’s defeat.' - Athanasius of Alexandria ca.318AD
