JESUS  CAME!

I like these thoughts that I read in an old Preacher's Magazine of my husband's ---

     Jesus came ---

"To Give - not to receive;

 To Build New - not to repair;

 To Redeem - not to entertain;

 To Serve - not to be served;

 To Make Whole - not to make better;

 To Release - not to "conserve".

 To Fulfill the Law - not to annul it;

 To Give Comfort and Peace - not pleasure and mirth;

 To Reveal - not to conceal;

 To Make Free - not to enthrall;

 To Suffer and Die - that others might live;

 To Seek and to Save - not to condemn;

 To be a Resident in heart - not a guest;

 To be "Shepherd" - not an "hireling";

 To Destroy Sin - not to suppress it;

 To Give Light - where darkness abounds;

 To Give Life - to those dead in sin;

 To Make Holy - all who believe and trust Him;

 To be The Way - The Truth - The Life - to a lost and perishing world."

Have you met the Master?  Do you know Him today?  Listen to His sweet call to you in Revelation 3:20 --

     "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:  if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me."

What a blessed invitation, and it is still for us all today!
