- Notes
- Author recounts a story from a small Inuit camp "just over a hundred years ago" when the people head a noise they had never heard before as a plane approached the camp for the first time. "As they watched, unable to comprehend the figure, they realized it was not a bird because it became bigger and louder. The elder suddenly shouted with great acclamation 'Oh ! The Second Coming of Jesus Christ has happened !' The whole camp rejoiced at the event of the ages. To the newly and recently converted, the shape of the strange airplane resembled the Christian cross and the untrained eye saw Christ arrive with great glory and great power". He concludes by saying "we Christians seem to have forgotten that our Father in heaven has given us the grace and power to show the hurting world that we are a new creation and every single day we are being renewed in every sense".
