they saw no man save Jesus only.” God has deposited everything we need in Jesus Christ. He has been made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. “He is the lily of the valley, the bright and morning star, the fairest of ten thousand to our souls.” He is the water of life. He is the bread of life. Space does not permit a listing of all the things He is to us. Our hearts are thrilled with joy! On my recent trip to Uganda, I met thousands of believers praising the Lord in a way that is hard for us to understand here in America. I felt God’s power, the convicting power of the Holy Spirit, upon my life. I was forced to put things right. God reminded me of my relation ships with others, “I’m not holding you responsible for what they have done to you, but I am holding you responsible for what you have done after they have done to you the worst.” Do you love your enemies? You can only do this when you see Jesus only. To the sinner the question comes in a pertinent manner, “How do you see Christ?” Recognize first of all that you are a sinner, and that Christ died for your sins. You can open up your heart and ask Him to forgive you; He will cleanse you from all unrighteousness, making you His child and an heir of God. Our brethren in Africa took as their theme, “Jesus Christ Is The An swer.” When He is in His rightful place, salvation falls upon the heart, and men come to know the Lord Je sus Christ as their Saviour. Will you see no man today save “Jesus only” ? May the Lord Himself help you to do so. * * * Beware of the high cost of low living. * * * The Bible must not be deleted or di luted. * * * The best tranquilizer is actually a clear conscience.
LOVING THE SON Through the death of his wife, a wealthy man had his heart really shak en. Then what made his grief even greater was when the couple’s only child, a little hoy, also was suddenly snatched away in death. The poor man never really recovered from the shock of the double bereavement. Just a few months later, when he himself died, people said it was because of a broken heart. Despite his wealth, there was no sign of a will and no heirs were known. When the household furniture was be ing sold, the trusted servant made the highest bid for the portrait of the greatly-loved little son. As it was taken down from the wall, the executors were amazed to find a will fastened to the back of the frame. In essence, it declared that to the person who thought enough .of their son to buy the paint ing, the couple decreed that they should be given the entire estate. What a beautiful story! What treasures must have been heaped on the servant who loved the son! Yet, God has said to those who love His only begotten Son and are willing to suffer for Him, that He will make them joint-heirs to His eternal kingdom. Think of it! To know and love Christ is to share with Him in the incorruptible and everlasting riches of eternity. Listen, “And if chil dren, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together ” (Rom. 8:17).
