Fri.-Sabbath, 11/19-21/21 Devotion

Praise God—it is almost Sunday! Here is the always-quotable Thomas Wat-son, from his great work, "The Art of Divine Contentment":

"What it is then to learn Christ?

"To learn Christ is to be made like Christ, to have the divine characters of His holiness engraven upon our hearts: 'We all with open face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image,' (2 Cor. 3:18).

"There is a metamorphosis made; a sinner, viewing Christ's image in the mir-ror of the gospel, is transformed into that image. Never did any man look up-on Christ with a spiritual eye, but he went away quite changed. A true saint is a divine landscape picture, where all the rare beauties of Christ are lively por-trayed and drawn forth. He has the same Spirit, the same judgment, the same will, with Jesus Christ."
