My friends, do not be cast down. Though there is much that is sad and dark, both in the church and the world, all will be well, for Jesus Christ lives. I like the story of Dr. Dale, who rose from his desk with that word, “Jesus Christ is alive today,” and preached thenceforth with a force which even he had never known before.
He has given eternal life to His people, undying promises, unfailing strength, unfading glory. Let us keep close to Him, and we shall have no cause to be afraid of what is coming.
