"Sir, I Love Him!"

Some years ago a Christian entered a hall where a great number of people were present. Many seemed to be in deep meditation. Others knelt in silent prayer.
One of these, a kneeling woman, particularly attracted his notice. Anxious to know whether it was simply a form of religion that had led her to kneel, he stepped to her side and quietly whispered in her ear this question: "What think ye of Christ?”
"Sir, I love Him!" was the simple reply.
Dear reader, let me earnestly and lovingly ask you, "What think ye of Christ?" Matt. 22:42.
We read in 1 Peter 3:18 that "Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.”
Do you know Him as the One who left the glory of God and suffered for sins on the cross in order that poor, vile, guilty, hell-deserving sinners might be brought into a place of favor with God—yes, even accepted in the Beloved? (Eph. 1:6.)
If you do not know Him as your Savior in this, the day of God's grace, you will have to know Him as your Judge in a coming day, when you must stand as a guilty, lost, Christ-rejecting sinner before the Great White Throne.
"What think ye of Christ?”
The Apostle Paul could say of Him, "The Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me." Gal. 2:20.
Have you this same blessed knowledge?
"If any man love God, the same is known of Him." 1 Cor. 8:3.
“It is a fearful thing
to fall into the
hands of the living God.”
Heb. 10:31.
