evealed in giving Himself <strong>for</strong> me." Christ bore our<br />

sins in His own body on <strong>the</strong> cross, that God might<br />

be just and yet <strong>the</strong> justifier of those who believe in<br />

Him. There is life, eternal life, <strong>for</strong> all who will<br />

surrender to Christ.<br />

I want to see <strong>the</strong> King in His beauty. I want to<br />

behold His matchless charms. I want you to behold<br />

Him, too. Christ will lead His redeemed ones<br />

beside <strong>the</strong> river of life and will explain to <strong>the</strong>m all<br />

that perplexed <strong>the</strong>m in this world. The mysteries of<br />

grace will unfold be<strong>for</strong>e <strong>the</strong>m. Where <strong>the</strong>ir finite<br />

minds discerned only confusion and broken<br />

purposes, <strong>the</strong>y will see <strong>the</strong> most perfect and<br />

beautiful harmony.<br />

Let us serve God with all our capabilities, with<br />

all our intelligence. Our intelligence will increase<br />

as we make use of that which we have. Our<br />

religious experience will streng<strong>the</strong>n as we bring it<br />

into <strong>the</strong> daily life. Thus we shall climb round after<br />

round of <strong>the</strong> ladder reaching to heaven, until at last<br />

we step from off <strong>the</strong> topmost round into <strong>the</strong><br />

kingdom of God. Let us be Christians in this world.<br />
