23.10.24 Absolute Love. Ps. Geoff Broekman

Absolute Love.

The man who stunned the world with his religious convictions in the 1924 Paris Olympics because he would not run on a Sunday, was even far more impressive off the track. Eric Liddell started each day of his life with his quiet time with God.

Eric endeavoured to live, holding on to Four Absolutes for his life. Absolute Purity, Unselfishness, Honesty and Absolute Love. These were evident when he was interned in a camp in China occupied by Japanese forces until 1945 where he died a premature death. He was described by one man who witnessed his life in those difficult years as “The Most Christ Like Man He Had Ever Met.”
