The questions put by the lord Jesus, when here on earth, were all weighty ones. No doubt you could remember several if I were to ask you.
The one I want to ask you now, as if I were echoing the Lord’s words, is,
“What think ye of Christ?”
One Sunday, about a year ago, a young man went down to the seaside, for a stroll, and as he walked along the sand he heard another young man telling out the Gospel to the bystanders. The preacher closed his address with the Words,
“What think ye of Christ?”
“Why,” said the stroller to himself, “I have scarcely thought of Him at all!” But he did think now so decidedly that next Lord’s Day he returned to the same spot, asking the Lord that he might meet the preacher to tell him that Christ was now his Saviour and his Lord.
You hear a good deal and (I hope) read a good deal about Christ, but do you think much about Him? Is He much in your thoughts? or, like the young mail spoken of above, have you to confess, “I have scarcely thought of Him at all?”
God has exalted and honored Him; the angels adore Him: saints worship Him; soon the universe shall joyfully own Hint its Lord. Satan himself, with all ins fallen hosts, and wicked men of all age, shall be compelled to bow at His feet.
O! what do you think of Him? What is He to you? What think ye of Christ?
“What think ye of Christ?” is the test
To try both your state and your theme;
You cannot be right in the rest,
Unless you think rightly of Him.
