QUOTE OF THE DAY
Ultimately, when we have fought a good fight and finished our course, and even if need be suffered death for the name of Christ, we shall emerge from the great tribulation and suffer no more. The King of the universe will grant us refuge in the shelter of His throne, where we may see Him and worship Him day and night in His temple, and the lamb turned Shepherd will lead us with the rest of His sheep to fountains of living water, where we make slake our thirst for ever at the eternal springs. —John R. W. Stott, What Christ Thinks of the Church. From Christianity Today, "Reflections" (10/25/99). Today's Best Illustrations – Volume 5.
