PROOF OF DIVINITY
William Willimon, United Methodist Chaplain at Duke University relates a story about walking across the Duke campus one fall afternoon during the “Oktoberfest” celebration with hundreds of students, some of them barely clothed, many of them drunk, rock music blaring everywhere. His friend Stuart Henry turned to him and said, “Do you know what the ultimate proof of the divinity of Jesus is for me?” Willimon thought to himself, “That’s a strange question, especially at this time and in this place.” And then answered, “No! What is the ultimate proof of Jesus divinity for you, Stuart?” Stuart said, “It’s that statement from the Scriptures that reminds me of just how differently from you and I that Jesus views all of this – the verse that says: ‘He looked upon the multitudes and had compassion.'”
