Written by John Newton (1725-1807), an English evangelical Anglican cleric and slavery abolitionist.
The chief difference between us, and the disciples when our Savior was upon earth, is in this: They then walked by sight, and we are called to walk by faith…We conceive of him as at a distance; but when the heart is awakened, we begin to make Jacob’s reflection, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.” And when we receive faith, we begin to know that this ever present God is in Christ.
And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age. [Matthew 28:20]
