and the above quote by C.S Lewis.
I read a quote recently that “we suffer more in imagination
than reality” by Seneca the Younger, a Roman philosopher. There is much truth

They held something within bigger than them
Someone who veiled His glory
God who put on flesh
They proclaimed news that rang through the ages
Someone who laid aside His deity
God who came to save
Had no room for Him we say
Someone who threatened our kingdom
God whom we displaced
Lifts our eyes to the life beyond
Someone has made a way back to
God our Father Creator King
We’re given something bigger this world
Someone who was and is and is to come
Jesus Christ our Lord and Brother
