I absolutely agree with the "show" part. But Christ Himself commanded us to
"tell", and one could hardly claim to follow Jesus and ignore His command.
It is unfortunate that so many of us (and I include myself) do this so
poorly. We humans are a sorry lot, and I am constantly amazed that God would
even bother with us, let alone sacrifice His Son to save us. John Newton, a
former slave ship captain who came to Jesus, was so moved by this that he
wrote the words to "Amazing Grace", one of the most beloved Christian hymns.
(It was the tune to "Amazing Grace" that was played by bagpipes during
Spock's funeral in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn".)
