Quotes #44…Thomas Watson 1620-1686

Great was the work of creation, but greater was the work of redemption. Great wisdom was seen in making us—but more miraculous wisdom in saving us. Great power was seen in bringing us out of nothing—but greater power in helping us when we were worse than nothing. In the creation, God gave us ourselves; in the redemption, He gave us Himself.

    Thanks for the quote and the information on Thomas Watson, Chris. I watched the last three videos and was blessed.
    RE: quote
    I enjoyed Watson’s perspective. We have a limited understanding of the blessedness of our redemption in Christ. In Heaven we will have a complete understanding and be absolutely blown away.

      You’re welcome, Tom, and I’m glad you spent time on the videos and that they were a blessing.
      What you have stated about Watson’s perspective has become very real to me in the past several years. We definitely have a limited understanding of so many things and I love your comment that how in heaven we will be “absolutely blown away.”

  2. Thank you for your research and for sharing all these inspiring videos, Chris.

      You’re welcome, Elizabeth. I’m glad you liked any of the videos that you watched. There is so much information about Thomas Watson out there that I tried to be selective and put up shorter videos.
      I hope you have a great day, Elizabeth. 😊

      I just pulled this comment out of spam, John. I suppose I should check that more often. I really appreciate your compliment. I know I’ve already told you I wasn’t interested in the Sunshine Award but, as I didn’t see this comment, I wanted you to know that I did receive this comment after all. I hope you have a great night!😊

        Thank you very much, Chris.

        I’m glad you were able to catch it—that happens more often than people think with filters.

        And no worries at all about the Sunshine Award. I understand where you’re coming from, and I appreciate you taking the time to circle back and let me know.
