Tony Snow writes about God’s grace and cancer

Posted on by

Tony Snow is the White House Press Secretary. He has cancer. He also knows that God has him.

I don’t know why I have cancer, and I don’t much care. It is what it is—a plain and indisputable fact. Yet even while staring into a mirror darkly, great and stunning truths begin to take shape. Our maladies define a central feature of our existence: We are fallen. We are imperfect. Our bodies give out.

But despite this—because of it—God offers the possibility of salvation and grace. We don’t know how the narrative of our lives will end, but we get to choose how to use the interval between now and the moment we meet our Creator face-to-face.

Christianity Today: Cancer’s Unexpected Blessings

  1. Face to face with Christ, my Savior,
    Face to face—What will it be,
    When with rapture I behold Him,
    Jesus Christ, Who died for me?

    Face to face I shall behold Him,
    Far beyond the starry sky;
    Face to face in all His glory,
    I shall see Him by and by!

    Another good reason to like those “wrong” network programs.
