"Let the repenting sinner fix his eyes upon “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29); and by beholding, he becomes changed. His fear is turned to joy, his doubts to hope. Gratitude springs up. The stony heart is broken.
A tide of love sweeps into the soul. Christ is in him a well of water springing up unto everlasting life..
..When we see Jesus, a Man of Sorrows and acquainted with grief, working to save the lost, slighted, scorned, derided, driven from city to city till His mission was accomplished; when we behold Him in Gethsemane, sweating great drops of blood, and on the cross dying in agony,—when we see this, self will no longer clamor to be recognized. Looking unto Jesus, we shall be ashamed of our coldness, our lethargy, our self-seeking. We shall be willing to be anything or nothing, so that we may do heart service for the Master..
..We shall rejoice to bear the cross after Jesus, to endure trial, shame, or persecution for His dear sake.
In Christ, God has provided means for subduing every sinful trait, and resisting every temptation, however strong. But many feel that they lack faith, and therefore they remain away from Christ. Let these souls, in their helpless unworthiness, cast themselves upon the mercy of their compassionate Saviour.
Look not to self, but to Christ.
He who healed the sick and cast out demons when He walked among men is the same mighty Redeemer today. Faith comes by the word of God. Then grasp His promise, "Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out." John 6:37.,
"Cast yourself at His feet with the cry,Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief..You can never perish while you do this--never."
Hear again we are reminded of the Great Love of Jesus & His " Amazing Grace.". I hope and pray that "ALL of US " will respond with an Honest and Open heart recognizing our great need of His Cleansing Power so that we might be made into True Fishers of mankind for Jesus.
