So much of self is cherished that the life of
Christ in the soul is quenched. The truth that is
presented tastes of the dish. The vessels need to be
purified. There needs to be deeper ploughing in the
heart, that the seeds of the eternal word of Christ
may take root and spring up to bear fruit to the
glory of God. The faith of many must be shallow,
valueless in the sight of God, else the fruit would
be of a different quality. There is need of deep
heart-searching.
Read Christ's prayer for His disciples, offered
just before His crucifixion: "Neither pray I for
these alone, but for them also which shall believe
on me through their word; that they all may be one;
as thou, Father, art in Me, and I in thee, that they
also may be one in us; that the world may believe
that thou hast sent me."
