When our souls are at one with the Lord Jesus, we come into fellowship with His people. Spiritually renewed, we give ourselves to Him and are baptized. Through the church-visible opens our grandest opportunity of making Him manifest to mankind.
We can all be “pillars in the temple of our God.”
We can all pray, They that dwell in the secret place of the Most High, abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
We can all speak of the living bread which came down from Heaven. If we eat of that bread we shall live forever.
There is no true happiness apart from Christ. May we be, as lights, shining for Him, in many a darkened home.
FOLLOWING JESUS.
We have a work to do. We are Christ’s representatives. We must partake of the Christly character.
We are His witnesses. Witnesses of His power and of His saving grace. It is ours to tell of His wonderful goodness to the children of men. We tremble when we recognize the magnitude of the responsibility which rests upon us. As our day, so shall our strength be.
If we fail to show Him forth in our daily lives, we break the covenant into which we joyfully entered such a little while ago.
