I was moved to silent tears of joy after reading Jim Wallis’ reflection “Loving Like Christ” (June 2013) about the pervasive and private influence Gordon Cosby had on so many lives. I was reminded of the passage where Jesus says, “You are the salt of the earth ... You are the light of the world.” Cosby lived such a life for all of us to emulate. He has passed the baton to our generation, and now it’s up to us to pass it on.
