Let Beams of Light Dispel Shadows of Doubt—We need to be
filled with all the fullness of God, and we shall then have life, power,
grace and salvation.
How shall we obtain these great blessings? Christ has died that
we might receive them by faith in His name. He has freely offered us
light and life. Then why should we persist in driving pegs on which
to hang our doubts? Why should we fill the gallery of the mind with
gloomy scenes of doubt? Why not let the bright beams of the Sun of
righteousness shine into the chambers of heart and mind and dispel the
shadows of unbelief? Turn to the Light, to Jesus the precious Saviour.
Instead of beholding the flaws and defects of some human being,
turn to contemplate the character of Him in whom there is no imperfec-
tion. Jesus is the “chiefest among ten thousand,” the One “altogether
lovely.” We are not to make any man our pattern. God has given us
a perfect model in His only begotten Son, and by beholding Him we
shall become changed into His image. Look upon Christ, whose throne
is high and lifted up, and the train of His glory fills the temple.—Und
MS 23.
