“For in him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28).


Christ is Risen!

“For in him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28). 

Paul, preaching before the Areopagus in Athens, showcases his literary knowledge by quoting a sixth-century BC poet, Epimenidis of Cnossos, to help illustrate his teaching of Christ to the highly sophisticated philosophers of Greece. He wanted the Athenians to know that our God is not a lifeless idol fashioned by human hands of wood, gold, silver, or stone. He is a living God, with distinctive energies, and in Him we live, move, and exist. 

Fr. John
