Craig D. LounsbroughAs I contemplate a relationship with God, I find that I’m afraid to ride on the coattails of the infinite. But what I fear more than that is spending my life in the coat closet.
About This Quote
The idea of riding on the coattails of the infinite simply means to take something that is infinite and not realize its true value. Remember how you used to go up to your mother and ask her for something before you realized the value of what you were asking. The same goes for God. For example, if you had a friend that was smarter than you, according to your belief system, then you would be like a mule carrying the weight of the world on your back.
However, this is not how it works. When we believe in God, we are rewarded for doing things that would otherwise seem impossible. This is why Jesus said, "I am giving you eternal life, this life in which you will know me." (John 17:3)
