What strange things were going on in that room! One was as far off from Christ as a sinner can possibly be. Another was nearer to Him than an angel. And yet both were in the same room with Christ.
One had a devil, the other was leaning on the Lord’s bosom. And yet, as to space, an arm’s length did not separate them from one another or from Jesus.
It is not so now? The true and the false are side by side in everything—yea, at the same table, at the same footstool in prayer. Both in the place where Christ meets His people. And vet one is as far off as a sinner can he; the other nearer than an archangel!
Reader, how is it with you?
