Archbishop of Canterbury


Source unknown

A few years ago on the Dick Cavett Show, the Archbishop of Canterbury was speaking with actress Jane Fonda. The Archbishop said, "Jesus is the Son of God, you know." Fonda replied, "Maybe he is for you, but he's not for me." To which the Archbishop profoundly answered, "Well either he is or he isn't."

Fonda's response reflects the silly thinking of our postmodern world, that truth is simply a matter of subjective opinion. But the ultimate good news is this: "In these last days, he [God] has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe….and he provided purification for [our] sins" (Hebrews 1:2-3).
