BEFORE THE MARVEL, the 2013 @WheatonCollege #ChristmasFestival #mywheaton 12 SPRING 2014 ) @mattadams23 Morgan  Alexandria  Jacob Wheatonism  #24:  One  of  your  profs  begins  to  tear  up  as  he   says,  “If  anything  I  have  taught  you  has  been  of  Christ,  hold   on  to  it.  If  anything  I  have  taught  has  not  been  of  Christ,     I  pray  that  God  would  cast  it  away  from  you.  At  the  end  of  the   day,  I  hope  you  saw  Christ,  not  me,  in  this  class.”  Needless   to  say,  there  was  a  rush  of  applause  at  the  end  of  that  day,   for  we  did  see  Christ  in  that  room,  every  day  we  were  in  it.   However,  it  was  not  merely  the  level   of  respect  for  God’s  Word  and  honest   search  for  its  understanding  which  won   our  hearts  and  ears,  but  also  the  care   for  the  lives  of  each  and  every  one   of  his  100+  students,  shown  partly   by  the  fact  that  he  knew  ALL  of  our   names.  #mywheaton  #doctorj  #bith Jamaican  Crew!  #mywheaton   @jonazan7 W H EATON .EDU / A L U M N I
