Our Father, we wish this morning to come to you anew in Christ Jesus. Many of us can look back to the happy moment when first we saw the law fulfilled in Christ, wrath appeased, death destroyed, sin forgiven, and our souls saved. Oh it was a happy morning—a blessed time. Never did the sun seem to shine so brightly as then, when we beheld the Sun of Righteousness, and basked in his light.
Many days have passed since then with some of us, and every day we have had proofs of the faithfulness of God to the gospel of his Son. We have proved the power of Jesus’ blood for daily cleansing; we have proved the power of his Divine Spirit for daily teaching, guidance, and sanctification; and now we want no other rock to build upon, than that which we have built upon.
Amen.
