`And strength:

`I can do all things through

Christ which strengtheneth me'

(Phil. 4:13).

`Without  Me  ye  can  do

nothing' (John 15:5).

`Even to Him shall men come;

`Come unto Me, all ye that

labour and are heavy laden,

and I will give you rest' (Matt.

`Jesus saith unto him, I am the

way, the truth, and the life (the

true and living way): no man

cometh unto the Father, but by

Me' (John 14:6).

`and all that are incensed against

`The enemies of the cross of

Him shall be ashamed.

is

destruction' (Phil. 3:18,19).

`In the LORD shall all the seed of

`By Him (Christ) all that

Israel be justified,

believe are justified from all

things, from which ye could

not be justified by the law of

Moses' (Acts 13:39).

`and shall glory' (Isa. 45:21-25).

`God forbid that I should glory,

save in the cross of our Lord

Jesus Christ' (Gal. 6:14).

Again we pause to consider the blasphemy of those who, with mistaken zeal for the glory of God, relegate the

Lord Jesus Christ to the position of the `creature', and at best, give Him a place somewhere parallel to that occupied

by one of the gods of the Roman pantheon. While the Lord Jesus Christ was on earth He certainly entered into a

condition of service for the accomplishment of redemption; shall we therefore use his very condescension and

unspeakable grace to tarnish His mercy, defame His throne, and sully His glory? What base ingratitude!

There is another passage in the Word to which attention has been drawn, viz. the prayer which the Lord taught

His disciples in Matthew 6:9-13, viz.:

`Our Father which art in heaven,

`The Son of man which is in

heaven' (John 3:13).

`Hallowed be Thy Name.

`That the name of our Lord

Jesus Christ may be glorified'

(2 Thess. 1:12).

`Thy kingdom come.

`The everlasting kingdom of

our Lord and Saviour Jesus

Christ' (2 Pet. 1:11).
