“Much will be said… about this entrepreneurial genius. From a spiritual perspective, this much can be said with certainty: Steve Jobs, created in the image of God, was a remarkable example of God’s common grace in his aesthetics and creativity and productivity. And we can all hope that in his final days, this recipient of so much common grace found rest in God’s sovereign saving grace.” – Justin Taylor

“It’s not “man worship” to understand and appreciate the incredible contributions that one man can make to his society and the world. Steve Jobs changed our world at it’s fulcrum…communication.” – Michael Newnham

“This country is made great by those who personify the American Dream; Steve Jobs gave us new ways with which to dream.” Herman Cain

“Steve Jobs was an American original – courageous, determined, creative, willing to take on the establishment – he will be missed.” – Newt Gingrich

Drawing from some of the most pivotal points in his life, Steve Jobs, chief executive officer and co-founder of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, urged graduates to pursue their dreams and see the opportunities in life’s setbacks – including death itself – at Stanford University’s 114th Commencement on June 12, 2005.

Its a truly remarkable and inspiring speech.

Of course, as inspiring as the speech was, there is always going to be something missing if Christ and His Gospel are left out, as this article makes clear.
