Truth Attracts by Being Lived
Matthew 7:28
And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:


— A belief without any adequate expression in acts is like an organ when all its pipes are silent and its keys untouched. It is dumb. It charms no one. It attracts no one. But bring forth the player; let him press the keys, let the dead air in all the choral columns be started into vibrations, and how the anthem swells, and how hearts are lifted on the waves of sound, and all the thousands applaud, some with their hands, others with eyes filled with happy tears.

(W. H. H. Murray.)
