Fri.-Sabbath, 1/4-6/19 Devotion

Wahoo—it is almost Sunday! We *get* to go back to church again! In order to help us get ready for God's worship, here are some good words from Thomas Watson, 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 glass 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 glass of the gospel, is transformed into that image. Never did any man look upon 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."
