Three Desires.

1. The young Ruler, Luke 18:18. Eternal Life Without the Cross.
2. Jebedee’s sons, Mark 10:35-37. Kingdom glory without the Cross.
3. Paul. Philippians 3:7-10 Christ and His Cross.
“The Father needed worshippers. The Son needed a bride and it was the joy of the Holy Spirit to come and seek and win both in this earth, uniting us to each One, in Himself.”
“The spirit’s marvelous grace in condescending to dwell in hearts like ours, brought into continued contact with sin.”
E. J. A. Pearson.
