And man needs some good that shall be a suitable object of his understanding for him to contemplate, wherein he may have full and sufficient exercise for his capacious faculties, in their utmost extent. Here is an object that is great and noble, and worthy of the exercise of the noblest faculties of the rational soul — God himself should be theirs, for them forever to behold and contemplate. Jonathan Edwards, 1733
Jonathan Edwards died on this date in 1758, exactly 250 years ago. Both Jonathan and his wife Sarah displayed remarkable trust in God’s goodness in response to this tragic event. See my short article posted on Theosource.

Andy,
Thank you for sharing this article.
That Edwards is remembered so favorably after 250 years is a testament to the Lord's grace. Praise the Lord for raising up such a servant whose life and works continue to be a blessing to the church.
BTW, that's a neat picture of the gravestone.
Andy, How do I check our email from a remote computer? --Daphne
