Light after Darkness Quotes

“The Bible is the unerring word of God himself. It is the source and summit of authority in the Church according to the Prayer Book, a revelation from Almighty God himself that is worthy of our careful and special attention. As John Stott said: ‘Scripture is the sceptre by which King Jesus reigns.’19”

“He goes on and describes this as a ‘royal marriage’, in a dramatic picture which is worthy of any Disney movie: Here this rich and divine bridegroom Christ marries this poor, wicked harlot, redeems her from all her evil, and adorns her with all his goodness. Her sins cannot now destroy her, since they are laid upon Christ and swallowed up by him. And she has that righteousness in Christ, her husband, of which she may boast as of her own and which she can confidently display alongside her sins in the face of death and hell and say, ‘If I have sinned, yet my Christ, in whom I believe, has not sinned, and all his is mine and all mine is his.’41 So the gospel is a romance. A hopeless, sinful slave marries the beautiful, powerful Lord.”
