| He Lives Here |
“They constrained Him, saying, Abide with us … And He went in to tarry with them” (Luke 24:29). “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith” (Ephesians 3:17). |
| When Queen Victoria reigned in England, she occasionally visited some of the humble cottages of her subjects. One time she entered the home of a widow and stayed to enjoy a brief period of Christian fellowship. |
| Later, the poor woman was taunted by her unbelieving and worldly neighbors. “Who’s the most honored guest you’ve ever entertained in your home?” |
| They expected her to say that it was Jesus, but to their surprise she answered, “The most honored guest I’ve ever entertained is Her Majesty the Queen Victoria.” |
| “Did you say the Queen?” they taunted. “we’ve got you this time! Isn’t it the Jesus you’re always talking about? Isn’t He your most honored guest?” |
| The old lady’s answer was definite and Scriptural. “No indeed! He’s not a guest … He lives here!” Her mockers were put to silence. |
