A Communist Answered

Illustration★★★★

A heckling Communist called out to a minister in London’s famous Hyde Park as he pointed to a man in rags, “Communism can put a new suit on that man.” The minister quickly replied, “Christ can put a new man in that suit.”

Milbourn H. Miller, Notes And Quotes, 150.

The point

A communist heckler boasts communism can dress a poor man; a minister replies that Christ can transform the man himself. Radical redemption surpasses material reform.
