Sat./Sabbath, 1/5-6/08 Devotion

Yippee--it's almost Sunday! In order to get you ready for church, here is Thomas Watson, from his book, entitled, "The Art of Divine Contentment":

"To learn Christ, is to BELIEVE IN HIM--'My Lord, and my God,' (Jn. 20:28). When we do not only believe God--but in God--[it] is the actual application of Christ to ourselves, and as it were the spreading of the sacred medicine of His blood upon our souls. [If] you have heard much of Christ, and yet cannot with an humble adherence say, 'my Jesus'; be not offended if I tell you, the devil can say his creed as well as you.

"To learn Christ, is TO LOVE CHRIST. When we have Bible-conversations, our lives like rich diamonds cast a sparkling lustre in the church of God; and are, in some sense, parallel with the life of Christ, as the transcript with the original."
