You nave heard of that warrior of ancient
times who went into battle against Christ.
| He hated Christ and he went into battle
fighting Christ, but in the battle he got
wounded, he was struck by the arrow and
| fell, and as he lay with his face up to the
sun and the life blood was oozing away, he
put his hand to his heart and took a handful
of blood from the wound and held it up to
the sun and cried out, "Oh Jesusl Thou hast
conquered"
if to-day, my hearer, struck through
by the arrow of Gods gracious Spirit, you
fealize the truth of what | have been saying,
you would surrender yourself to the Lord
who bought you, you would say: 81 will no
longer battle against Christs mercy. Lord
Jesus, Thou hast conquered" Glorious
name. know not what you will do with
it; but l will tell you one thing before |
stop-I must tell it. I will tell you one thing
here and now. that 1 take Him to be ny
Lord, my God, my pardon, my peace my
comfort, my salvation, my heaven. Blessed
be His glorious name forever. "The name
which is above every name"
