the Christ of KINGDOM incorruptbe, undeled and that
fadeth not away
God, therefore, loves His children by adoption more
than He loves His children by creation
A PURPOSE APPROVED OF GOD
AS in the case Of Daniel, the angel told him:
"Thou art greatly beloved Of God.'
Daniel who according the Eighth Verse Of the
First Chapter purposed in his heart that he would not ee
himself with the kings meat drink That the begin
ming of Daniels marvellous He made the right kind
Of beginning He did not simply purpose" in word,
in action for that impossible until preceded by the
purposing in his heart.
Whatever purposes in his heart will be that
which will be exhibited in his words and deeds.
It was Daniel who blessed and prospered by God
and because of his intense devotion and conservation the
angel said:
'"Thou art greatly beloved of Cod"
Today of all the servants Of God earth there is
who is faithful than any other. There one
greatly beloved of God than all the re because he
faithful than any of the rest
You my brethren, who occupy important positions in
ZIoN you all the same in the sight of God from
general standpoint but from the standpoint of consecraton
true DEVOTION wholehearted SERVICE of you doubt
stands higher than the rest and is the privilege of each
to stand where Daniel stood by keeping nothing back but
putting all upon the altar Of service.
AS told you last Lords Day afternoon man knows
his heart man knows his life He does not need
to be deceived. He knows in the ministry knows
very we'll whether he is doing right not whether he
serving God from the highest motive with laudabe
purpose for selfish end, whether he is lover of
filthy ucre hankering after the empty honors of the
world, or the empty plaudits Of tickle mankind.
PROOF OF TRUE LOVE
Jesus said IF man love Me, he will keep My sayings
e., he will do what tell him. His one thought will not
be, How little do to get into heaven but obeyng
every saying Jesus Christ uttered When He said, Seek
OF
whether you doing it not. God knows it, and you
know it, and other people will find it out
He that hath My sayings and keepeth them, he it is
that loveth Me-: He shows his love- He proves his
secration. He does what Jesus wants him to do He is
mourning the sad conditions of humanity He is meek
He is not quick to resent either supposed real injury
He is mercul He is peacemaker His trumpet gives
uncertain sound and the Devil takes cognzance of his life
and ministry, and persecutes him. and lies about him. and
gets evil to say everything alsely) against him. He
is salt. He is obeyng Chrsts words He denying him
SELF He is crucfying himself He suffering for Chriss
sake, and God knows all about it.
God looks down upon such and says, '"That man
truly loves Me- and will love him in return" Jesus says
He that hath my sayings and keepeth the he it is that
loveth Me, and will love him.
Jesus loves everybody, does He not? That statement
that there certain who keep His
sayings whom He has special love- ct will love him.
and my Father will love him."
Does not God love everybody? But there is a love
higher DEEPER broader than the love God has for all
kind eve will come unto him and make Our abode with
him. He is the temple of God Of Jesus the Christ and of
the Holy Spirit, the Comforter
That my mind, is the highest sweetest most beau
tu the most precious and the most arreachng of all the
promises given by God to the children of men.
exhort everyone of you from the least to the greatest
to claim that higher love which bestowed upon those
who are truly obedent to all the sayings of Jesus the Christ
THE CHRIST MIND PENETRATEs THE FUTURE
Jesus the Christ knew the end from the beginning and
knew that would pass away that He would pray
Cod and God would resurrect him. and that the miracle
