November 28: Glad Tidings.
Contemplating Christ.
You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls.--1 Peter 1:8, 9, NLT
CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED should be the theme of contemplation, of conversation, and of our most joyful emotion. We should keep in our thoughts every blessing we receive from God, and when we realize His great love we should be willing to trust everything to the hand that was nailed to the cross for us.--Steps to Christ, 103.
When His words of instruction have been received, and have taken possession of us, Jesus is to us an abiding presence, controlling our thoughts and ideas and actions. We are imbued with the instruction of the greatest Teacher the world would ever know.--Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 389
We have the companionship of the divine presence, and as we realize this presence, our thoughts are brought into captivity to Jesus Christ. Our spiritual exercises are in accordance with the vividness of our sense of this companionship. Enoch walked with God in this way; and Christ is dwelling in our hearts by faith when we will consider what He is to us, and what a work He has wrought out for us in the plan of redemption. We shall be most happy in cultivating a sense of this great gift of God to our world and to us personally.--Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, 388.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
--John 3:16, NKJV
