Where Jesus’ influence makes men into real men, their life becomes genuine and pure. It shines into the darkness of the world around and unmasks what is false and untrue—what is trying to hide.

As with the sun, the brightness of His being is inseparable from life-kindling warmth.

Nothing is impossible for the faith that springs from the fire of love.
