Illustration: Communion of Faith, Hope and Love
Robert Shannon tells of something he saw at the Cathedral in Salzburg, Austria. It has three bronze front doors. Over the door on the right is written FAITH. Over the door on the left is written HOPE. Over the central, larger, and more imposing door is written LOVE. We may write each word over the communion table. We can write FAITH because we believe Jesus died for us. We can write HOPE because we believe He will come again. In the largest letters of all we can write LOVE. Greater love has no man than this. That he should die for his friends, but when we were sinners Christ died for us.
