Exalting The Man Of Calvary, May 30
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son
of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not
[141]
perish, but have eternal life.
John 3:14, 15
.
I point you to the cross of Calvary. I ask you to consider the infinite sacrifice
made in your behalf that through faith in Jesus Christ you may not perish but have
everlasting life.... I point you to Jesus. You are safe in committing to Him the
innermost working of your mind. The Lord Jesus hath purchased you with an
infinite price. You may commit the keeping of your soul to Jesus. You may trust
Him as your Counselor.... Constantly draw nigh unto God. He will help you.
O be sure you receive your illumination from the Source of all light. He is
the great central Light of the universe of heaven and the great Light of the world.
He will enlighten every man that cometh into the world. Reach no cheap, low
standard. Cultivate the gentleness of Christ. Secure the highest attainments, and
draw your inspiration from Jesus Christ. He is your Friend. You may always
depend upon Him and find Him faithful and true. When you need His sympathy
in your greatest perplexity, wounded and bruised, He will not pass you by on the
other side. To Him you may come in the simplicity of children. To Him you may
come with joy and rejoicing. With everything that is flattering to your hopes, every
success which attends your labors in the Lord, look up to Jesus and lay every
honor at His feet. Everything depends upon your walking in all humility of mind.
Write the name of Christ upon your banner and never dishonor your colors.
All heaven was given to us in Christ Jesus.... O honor Jesus by giving to Him
the heart’s best and holiest services! He has given His life for you. Who is He that
hath done this? The only begotten Son of God, He that was One with the Father
before the world was.
Lift up your banner, lift it up higher. Never, never let it trail in the dust of the
earth. Exalt Jesus. Lift Him up, the Man of Calvary, higher and still higher.
