Friends,

Today we celebrate C.S.Lewis, and all that he brought to the service of God in the Anglican Church.

His many books continue to be available today, but my favorite quote is from Mere Christianity. Here Lewis asserts that Jesus was definitely not a great moral teacher. He was “either a lunatic—on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg—or else he [was] the Devil of Hell. You make your choice. Either the man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse.”

Today in Psalm 139: verse 6 we read,

“Where can I go then from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?”

C.S. Lewis found himself on a bus traveling to the zoo with his brother when he accepted and believed that Jesus was indeed the Son of God.

Where were you when the Spirit of God found you?

Was it sudden, like C.S. Lewis?

Or was it a gradual molding of your consciousness as you grew from childish belief to transforming awareness?

Or perhaps it is repeated still, over and over, in your ongoing journey toward God?

“Lord , you have searched me out and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You discern my thoughts from afar.”
—Psalm 139:1

Faithfully,

—Chotard
