have been defeated and disheartened in their efforts to find out God.

What they need to inquire at this time is, “What is the truth that will
enable us to win the salvation of our souls?”
Do I Have the Answer?
“What think ye of Christ?”—this is the all-important question. Do
you receive Him as a personal Saviour? To all who receive Him He
gives power to become sons of God.
Christ revealed God to His disciples in a way that performed in
their hearts a special work, such as He desires to do in our hearts.
There are many who, in dwelling too largely upon theory, have lost
sight of the living power of the Saviour’s example. They have lost
sight of Him as the humble, self-denying worker. What they need is
to behold Jesus. Daily we need the fresh revealing of His presence.
We need to follow more closely His example of self-renunciation and
self-sacrifice.
We need the experience that Paul had when he wrote: “I am cruci-
fied with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son
of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me” (
Galatians 2:20
).
The knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ expressed in character
is an exaltation above everything else that is esteemed on earth or in
heaven. It is the very highest education. It is the key that opens the
portals of the heavenly city. This knowledge it is God’s purpose that all
who put on Christ shall possess. [
