Return from Lausanne

I can hardly believe it. I have been home for over a week now and am still trying to find my feet and understand what it is that God might be calling me to door become in response to the amazing words and experiences I have encountered.

Late last night after an amazing weekend, some sad news began to circulate. This new was about a beloved professor at my school who had passed away. The news was shocking to us as students and former students. This man embodied the love of Christ so well that many were just drawn to him. He had an amazing ability to teach theology in a way that made sense and in a way that would draw you closer to the Lord.

Dr. Paul Siu, was a man who lived his faith in every waking hour of the day. He was a husband, a father, a man of God, and a brilliant seminary professor. His life will be missed here on earth. There is a sadness for those of us that must now only encounter his passion through is memories, but there is also a challenge for us. To go and replicate that love of Christ, the love for others and the love of theology in our own lives. Thanks to Dr. Siu for being so much more than a teacher of book knowledge, thank you for being a man whose life many will want to replicate.
