“My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you.” (Gal. 4:19.)
“Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is caused to stumble, and I burn not?” (2 Cor. 11:29.)
“We ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.” (1 John 3:16.)
“If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.” (Mark 9:35; see 10:31, and Matt. 20:27.)
If these “true sayings” were more on our consciences and hearts, what power we should have to serve the Church of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood! (Acts 20:28.) When I look at a saint, what do I see?
A son of God. (1 John 3:1, 2.)
A member of Christ. (Eph. 5:30.)
A part of myself. (Rom. 12:5.)
A temple of the Holy Ghost. (1 Cor. 6:19.)
A living stone. (1 Pet. 2:5.)
The workmanship of God. (Eph. 2:10.)
May we all have the mind, heart, and bowels of Christ, about His own, about that, and those, which are His.
