RECEIVE CHRIST INTO YOUR HOUSE.

Have you thought what a pleasure it
would be to receive Christ into the flesh
ns a guest ut your house? Suppose you had
lived in Jerusalem when be was there.
Would YOU not have liked for your house to
he the house of Martha and Mary and
Lazarus, where the Lord loved to stop and
rest when on one of his long journeys! All!
what serving You would have given him
the best seat; the first place at the table,
the choice piece of mutton, and the best
bed. You would not have been
content for him to drink, any
water but that which was brought fresh
from the spring by your own hand. AT his
feet YOU would have sat and heard him talk
for hours, and never have grown weary. liz
would have been your delight to wash bis
feet or to have performed any service to
make him comfortable. Now remember
that you are not deprived of such privileges.
The opportunity is in your reach-at your
very door. You may have the blessed LORD
as guest, and he will be pleased with all the
honors you may confer upon him: DO not
pine because YOU may not receive MN ior
You NAV. While he was here he said
TO his disciples that which is true in all
time. "IIe that recciyeth you receiVeth me,
and he that receiyeth me receveth him that
sent me.n "And whosoever shall give to
drink unto one of these little ones cup OF
cold water only in the name of disciple,
verify say unto you be shall in no wise lose
his reward" "Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these, my brethren,
We have done it unto me-" Now, dearly be-
loved brethren, do not content yourselves
with entertaining Christ spiritually ss
guest in your hearts nor console yourselves
With the thoughts of " hat you would have
done, but receive him into your houses by
receiving his servants. When you honor
them YOU honor him.-(Selected.
