John R.W. Stott Quotes
The Christian Message Has A Moral Challenge. If The Message Is True, The Moral Challenge Has To Be Accepted. So God Is Not A Fit Object For Man's Detached Scrutiny. You Cannot Fix God At The End Of A Telescope Or A Microscope And Say "How Interesting!" God Is Not Interesting. He Is Deeply Upsetting. The Same Is True Of Jesus Christ ... We Know That To Find God And To Accept Jesus Christ Would Be A Very Inconvenient Experience. It Would Involve The Rethinking Of Our Whole Outlook On Life And The Readjustment Of Our Whole Manner Of Life. And It Is A Combination Of Intellectual And Moral Cowardice Which Makes Us Hesitate. We Do Not Find Because We Do Not Seek. We Do Not Seek Because We Do Not Want To Find, And We Know That The Way To Be Certain Of Not Finding Is Not To Seek ... Christ's Promise Is Plain: "Seek And You Will Find.
