! A Thought From Isaac Of Nineveh

Isn’t it extraordinary – when you come to think of it – that the One whom atheists deny (for then they would have to acknowledge One greater than themselves…) knew, knows, about humility…? I mean, how could He? Suppose, He hadn’t sent such men as Jesus Christ to show us that humility was, is, godly, and indeed, a path to know that One? Would we then be treating the humble as the self-victimising scum of the earth? And we, assured in being proud and arrogant? What else could that One know of contraries and opposites, paradox and contradiction, unless He (or She, or It) knows all; knows us better than we know ourselves?
