centenary

Today I celebrated a rather special centenary. The 100th anniversary of my father's birth.

Although he died many years ago now, his legacy lives on in the lives of many, I'd guess. Certainly in the lives of his family. And today we're glad of the chance which this milestone affords to acknowledge our debt under God to this gentle and most gracious man.

He helped us to see from our earliest years what a wonderful thing it is that the Lord has effected for us in the gospel, our belonging at last to a family, and our knowing this God as our Father. He made the security and dignity of that an easy thing for all of us to grasp.

Something the Lord once declared through the prophet Isaiah has been very much a word which the Lord spoke to me: and I often think of my Dad in this regard as well -

"All your sons will be taught by the Lord, and great will be your children's peace." [Is.54.13]

That's a fine legacy for any man to leave. And today once again we all salute him.

Being a Muslim I can only say: We have faith in what has been revealed towards us and revealed towards you; our God and your God is one, and to him we are submitted.
