I found this link the other day to a couple extracts from an essay by Albert Einstein. Although he makes no pretension of being a religious man, and seems to lack some key Christian concepts, I thought it quite intriguing that his views contain a lot of light (deeper than what I’ve heard in Christian circles lately), especially the two opening paragraphs. For example, consider this sentence: “A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.” How many Christians live by such a noble aim? These extracts are very short; do yourself a favor and check out the link above.
