A Lesson from London by Josh McDowell
A Lesson from London
Bible Reading: Psalm 31:21-24
The Lord preserves the faithful, but the proud he pays back in full. Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord. Psalm 31:23-24, NIV
ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL was completed in London in 1710. It is one of the most beautiful and impressive churches in the world and is the center of the Church of England in London.
During World War II, when Adolph Hitler and the forces of Nazi Germany had conquered most of Europe, the city of London was "a besieged city" (Psalm 31:21, NIV), under almost constant attack from the planes of the Luftwaffe, the German air force. From September of 1940 through May of 1941, Germany's planes bombed London and other British cities almost every night.
Much of London was destroyed during those months, either by the bombs or by the fires the bombs spread through London's buildings. One of the areas that was hardest hit was the section of London called "the City." Near the center of "the City" stood St. Paul's Cathedral.
