Till He Come SAMPLE

Swooning and Reviving Christ’s Feet
He brought Himself into contact with us, and made us perceive
the reality of His love to us, and then He became more than a
conqueror over us.
Thus, we felt that He was no fiction, but a real Christ, for there
was His hand, and we felt the gentle pressure. The laying on of
the right hand of the Lord had brought healing to the sick, sight
to the blind, and even life to the dead, and it is no strange thing

“Fear not; thou art the beloved disciple, John the apostle
and divine”? I find nothing of the kind. He did not direct
His servant to look at himself, but to remember the great
I Am, his Savior, and Lord. The living comfort of every
swooning child of God, of everyone who is conscious of
