: : A Jubilee for Jesus? : : And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all : the day long. Ps. 35:28. : : While I was in England, one day there was a great parade in the : streets. It was the Queen's Jubilee. Everyone was talking about it. The shop : windows were filled with her pictures, and all were extolling the queen of : England. Could we have taken from the shop windows the pictures of the queen : and the signs of her glory, and placed instead expressions of the glory and : majesty of Jesus, would not the people have regarded us as religious : fanatics? They would have thought that we were carrying religion too far. . : . . But did not our Master lay aside His royal robes, His crown of glory? : Did He not clothe His divinity with humanity, and come to our world to die : man's sacrifice? Why should we not talk about it? Why should we not dwell on : His matchless love? : : O that our tongues might lose their paralysis, that we might speak : forth His praise! O that the spiritual torpor which has come upon the souls : of men might be removed, that we might discern the glory of God in the face : of Jesus Christ! We are to be the representatives of our Lord upon earth. . : . . He can communicate heaven's light through you to those who sit in : darkness. You that have claimed to know the Lord, you who profess to have : tasted and seen that the Lord is good, reveal it to those around you. Show : forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His : marvelous light. If men can make so much ado over the Queen's Jubilee, if : they can manifest so much enthusiasm over a finite being, can we not speak : to the glory of the Prince of Life, who is so soon to come in majesty to : take His weary, worn followers to Himself; to unlock the prison bars of : death, and set the captives free; to give His loved ones who sleep, a : glorious immortality? Why cannot Christ be introduced into our conversation? : We are almost home. Let us speak courage to the weary soldiers of the cross. : . . . Let us tell the pilgrims and strangers of earth that we shall soon : reach a better country, even a heavenly. : : >From That I May Know Him - Page 274 : : : : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internal Virus Database is out of date.
