Paul E. Robinson

... tree was dark until we plugged in the lights, splashing the wrapping paper with even more color. The presents were all there, and we quietly poked around the pile, trying to guess what might be in the presents with our name on the tag. And after all that effort to guess, what a crushing thing it was when a shape or a rattle or a poor wrapping job enabled us to guess for sure! The fun was gone.

If I were to take something out of my pocket, hold it up inside my fist, and ask you what it is, you would probably guess that it is a coin. But you don’t know for sure. You would be making a guess. A guess is not faith. It is just reasonable opinion. But let’s suppose that I told you that I have a quarter in my hand. Do you believe that? If so, you now have faith, faith that what I told you is ...
