Hear the words of the doxology. Praise God from whom all blessing flow, praise him all creatures here below. Praise him above ye heavenly host. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. By breaking one main concept out of it, the faith in God, one breaks the whole.
Nothing necessarily remains in one's hands.
I heard William Sloane Coffin say that he did not know how you attracted people to the gospel by appealing to their essentially selfish needs and then ended up offering them the unselfish gospel of Jesus. John says that Jesus performed a great miracle, feeding hungry people, but not so much a miracle as a sign, something which points beyond itself to something greater and more important than the sign. The bread blessed and given for the people was a sign that God was among them, not among them as fulfillment of all their hearts' desires, but present as Jesus. This God was even greater than their hunger. This God was there to be worshipped, to be obeyed, to be followed, even when following did not appear to meet their needs.
