In the midst of difficulty, when doubt and despair stalk hand in hand, the man of faith can still hear the words of Jesus, and believing find heart’s ease.

There are many acts of homage that seem to have little practical value, yet they are fragrant, and Jesus understands the loving devotion from which they spring.

The grave is only Winter, and after Winter comes Spring with its wonderful resurrections, in which everything beautiful that seemed lost, springs forth into life.

Faith and obedience are rewarded. Jesus will seek us out and invite us into a deep and abiding fellowship with him.

“I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life”.

Livingwith God has its counterpart: God dwelling with us. “Certainly I will be with thee”, was true for Moses in his special mission. It is true for each of us, if we trust Him, in His purpose with us.

“It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you are spirit and life”: therefore, if these words dwell in us, “Spirit and life” dwell in us, otherwise not.

The ultimate source of resurrection power is of God, but He has commissioned the Son to exercise it, and also to act as judge.

God‘s gift requires us to expose all those things that are unworthy and demands that we share the gift with those around us.
