TRUSTING JESUS
The following is an excerpt from Robert Farrar Capon’s The Parables of the Kingdom, Zondervan, 1985, p. 29: And faith is something that, throughout this book, I shall resolutely refuse to let mean anything other than trusting Jesus. It is simply saying yes to Him rather than no. It is, at its root, a mere ‘uh-huh’ to Him personally. It does not necessarily involve any particular theological structure or formulation; it does not entail any particular degree of emotional fervor; and above all, it does not depend on any specific repertoire of good works — physical, mental, or moral. It’s just, ‘Yes, Jesus,’ till we die — just letting the power of his resurrection do, in our deaths, what it has already done in His.
