This is My Beloved Son
The Father Points to the Beloved Son, and He Says,
This is My Beloved Son, In Whom I Am Well Pleased.
Hear Him, Follow Him, Live Like Him.
Let Christ Be the Law of your Life.
Not Offended
Yet it is those who are NOT offended who are Blessed.
We need, therefore, to get to a point where we have a Liking for His Ways,
Where we can say: If You, Lord Act According to Your Promise, Good! but if not, it is Also Good!
The Life of Christ
The Life Within the Christian does not know how to smite first, nor does it know how to smite back! there is no characteristic of smiting about it at all.
The Life of the Christian is the Life of Christ!
This Life will neither commence with hitting nor follow up with hitting.
Block
God is Absolute! therefore, we cannot change Him, neither can we force Him to do what He does not want to do, nor can we persuade Him not to do what He wants to do.
Even So, when we are Called to be the Channel of His Will we may doubtless block God’s Work if we do not Cooperate With Him.
Thousand Times More
In Him you See a Thousand Times More Given you than you have lost!
See How God only Took from you that you might have Room to Take From Him what is So Much Better.
Abide in Christ
He Teaches us to Abide in Christ! and Because God is Found There, the Truest Comfort Will Come There Too.
Rebuked
There are many things in the world which ought to be Rebuked, but how many really know how to Administer That Rebuke?
We have lost the Power.
To slap a man on the shoulder when he is wrong, turning a blind eye to his deeds for the sake of friendship, is a cheap way out,
Whereas to Rebuke him Patiently and In Love may be Costly.
Give Up All
Above all, we Consent to Give Up All inheritance on earth, to Forsake All, and Like Christ, to Have Only God as our Portion.
To Possess as Not Possessing and Hold All for God Alone Marks the True Priest, the man who Only Lives for God and his fellowmen.
Our Being In Christ
Our Being In Christ! the Position the Redeemed of the Lord Obtain.
Forgiveness of Sins is in Christ.
Justification is in Christ, and Sanctification is also in Christ.
All Spiritual Blessings are in Christ.
Everything is in Him.
All that God Gives to us is in His Son.
