The Sign of the Cross (1932)

Arthur Hohl: Titus

Quotes 

• Titus : "We are to become as children," Jesus said... "with a child's simple loving vision." If we have the simplicity... the faith, the trust of a child... we accept that which we do not fully understand. For me, for all men... He lifted the black mist from the face of God. And there was no longer the God of wrath... but only a loving Father. All that we had been taught before about the great Spirit... became suddenly a new understanding... a compassionate God to whom we could turn. The blood of these martyred followers of Jesus... is not yet dry on the stones of Jerusalem.

• Titus : Since knowing Him and since following the truth... old habits have slipped from my body. There are no longer any earthly bonds confining my spirit. All is at peace within me. If every living man knew what I know... if I could be sure that the message is in every heart... I could be wholly at peace. As Jesus loved God, so He loved his brothers... who are also the children of God. With understanding, with faith... He held power over all things, even death. He proved there is no death... only a crossing over to the Father... and life everlasting. Jesus knew it. He lived it. He walked the earth in goodness... telling that we're all of His blood, His spirit. Work for one another, comfort one another... that was His cry. Love your neighbor as yourself. That is what He came to teach mankind. That message is heard. It will be carried to all men... to the farthest corners of the earth. And God will walk among us... and you will go out into the world... and you will carry to your brothers a new life... and that new life is freedom. Freedom as vast and beautiful as heaven is.
