## Resource

Scripture John 8:58 (NRSVUE) Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, before Abraham was, I am." Refrain Before I knew God, God knew me. Quote Richard Rohr, from The Universal Christ "Christ is the light that allows people to see things in their fullness. The precise and intended effect of such a light is to see Christ everywhere else. In fact, that is my only definition of a true Christian. A mature Christian sees Christ in everything and everyone else." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
