Christian Witness in the First Person

The following quote is a reminder that, in some sense, truth does not become meaningful until it becomes personal.

It is not enough, Origen explained, to say, "Christ was crucified": one must say with Saint Paul, "I am crucified with Christ." Likewise it is not enough to say, "Christ is raised." One who knows Christ says, "We shall also live with him" (Rom. 6:10).

All Christian witness is in the first person...
