Thursday, October 20, 1955

"Jesus had a future dream. His dream was that one day every creature in heaven and earth would bow and give honor to God the Father. ... He came into this world with this dream inside of Him. He felt it, craved it, and became so consumed by it that He willingly gave up His life on the cross in order for it to come to pass."
— David Edwards
