We are to be captured by His truth and love and beauty, which is the true attachment. He achieved a certain degree of popularity with some because He healed the sick and fed the hungry. They were not captured by His person and His mission to save the lost, or by His redeeming grace. Christ looks deep into our hearts to see whether we truly love Him, love Him for His own sake. The preparation necessary to meet Christ is to love Him with a true heart.
True love thinks nothing of the loaves and the fishes.
We belong to Him and to His church, not for the sake of what is profitable, but because we want more than anything to be like Him. We cling to Him, not because it is fashionable to do so, but even when it is unpopular to do so. His righteousness is our salvation, His love for us our inspiration, His approval of us our supreme satisfaction, His life our greatest need. Everything is possible in the power of His love and grace. We are no longer moved by every wind of doctrine.
