Our Lord Never Lays Down

If You Are Going To Be Used By God, He Will Take You Through A Number Of Experiences That Are Not Meant For You Personally At All. They Are Designed To Make You Useful In His Hands, And To Enable You To Understand What Takes Place In The Lives Of Others.

If God Has Made Your Cup Sweet, Drink It With Grace; If He Has Made It Bitter, Drink It In Communion With Him.

If Jesus Is A Teacher Only, Then All He Can Do Is To Tantalize Us By Erecting A Standard We Cannot Come Anywhere Near. But If By Being Born Again From Above We Know Him First As Savior, We Know That He Did Not Come To Teach Us Only. He Came To Make Us What He Teaches We Should Be. The Sermon On The Mount Is A Statement Of The Life We Will Live When The Holy Spirit Is Having His Way With Us.

If I Obey Jesus Christ In The Seemingly Random Circumstances Of Life, They Become Pinholes Through Which I See The Face Of God.

Our Natural Virtues Can Never Come Anywhere Near What Jesus Christ Wants.
