Meditation
CHRIST OUR LIFE To earnest seekers of salvation this subject affords much encouragement. When you think of your many needs, you feel shocked, and are ready to say, I want---alas! what want I not? You want pardon----you want purity---you want strength----you want a lively hope for glory----and all this is in Christ. Secure Christ for your life, and you will have all. And Christ is every sinners right; Gods gift to the world----which was the object of his pity, shared the effects of his pity. Christ is therefore every sinners right; and if you receive him, you have all that can conduce to your present safety and eternal life. Be careful that you use Christ for all the purposes for which he is offered to you. Let Christians learn a lesson from this subject. BE GRATEFUL. You see how much you owe to him; you cannot be Christians without him. He gave you life, but he gave it you at a great cost! It is by his stripes that you are healed---he died that you might live. O what thanks then are due to him. Too much to thee I cannot give, Too much I cannot do for thee; Let all thy love and all thy grief Gravn on my heart ever be! Be CONSISTENT as well as grateful. Live on Christ. Glorify him in your bodies and in your spirits which are his. You must identify yourselves with all that belongs to him; his cause must be yours, his people yours. You are required, as Christians, not only to live to Christ, but to live like him, to live the life of Christ. We do not sufficiently consider the height of our calling; we are not careful to live up to the standard. As Christians, we ought to live the life of Christ over again: the removal of his bodily presence was no doubt a great loss to the world; but mark how the Gospel repairs this loss. Christians are to be made like Christ, that they may be his substitutes, and become to the world what he would be were he still upon earth. We are called to be visible representatives; every Christian is a sort of Christ, resembling him, going about doing good, strengthening the weak and defenseless; bearing testimony meekly and mildly against evil, doing good in every possible way. Then will it be seen that Christ is indeed our life. Let us set about this work immediately in our families and in our neighborhoods with more prayer than ever we have yet done, and therefore with more success. J. Bunting

Thank you so much for coming to worship God with us today. We hope and pray that you will be blessed among us and that you also will be a blessing to us. If you have any prayer needs or if you'd like to know more about our church, one of our pastors or elders would be very happy to speak with you. ______________________________

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
