has taught that the way to God, that the way of faith,
is the
way of sacrifice, of death. Christ entered in to God in the way
of self-sacrifice ;
in faith I accept of Him, and His entrance into
God s presence is mine ;
in union with Him, once and for ever
mine. His self-sacrifice becomes the spirit and the power of
my life, and the life of faith in me becomes the union of the
two His and my self-sacrifice.
God said : No man shall see Me and live.
Through death,
the death of Christ, our death in and with Him, is the way to
God. This is the new and living way, the way into the Holiest
Let us walk in it,
in the power of the Holy Ghost. Let us yield
ourselves in great simplicity and humility to die to self, as we
confess our helplessness, and look to God to quicken us in
Christ. Let us tarry in childlike dependence and patience, with
the one desire, to please the Father as Jesus pleased Him.
And
as we wait, and patiently do the will of God, He may show us
how, in the once and for ever of His death and resurrection, there
is for us a perfect entrance into the perfect life that has been
offered to our faith.
7. Abel had witness borne him that he was righteous. As he bowed to God s righteous
judgment on sin, and trusted In God s righteous deliverance from it through sacrifice, he was
righteous In God s sight. As he worshipped with his eye on the dying lamb, he had witness
borne to him. How I know not. As with my eye on the dying Lamb I worship, the witness
comes to me by the Holy Ghost that I am righteous.
2. Let me believe in the immeasurable power of the blood of the Lamb, until my whole being
is filled with the witness of the Holy Ghost.
3. The more I gaze, in confession and trust, on the dying Lamb, the more may I claim the
spirit of His sacrifice to enter into me, and make me conformed to His likeness.
4. A more excellent sacrifice. Cain brings his offering without death, without blood the
spirit and religion of the world. With Abel and the hosts of heaven it is allthe blood of the
Lamb.
