THE UNCONQUERABLE CHRIST

Woe to a world that vainly tries to escape from Jesus Christ. They may deny His deity, dispute His power, disbelieve His resurrection, explain away His existence, deride Him as phantom, insult Him as a spirit medium, philosophize over Him as a myth, accept Him as a mere human teacher, misquote His words to sustain their opinions, pervert His teachings, and despise His precious blood; but when all this is done, their difficulty is not removed, for Christ the king is still lives at God's right hand, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever;" the Christ "who was, who is, and who is to come;" He who had glory with his Father "before the world was," shame with man during His earthly pilgrimage; and who having suffered these things, has entered "into His glory,"-- that same Jesus still lives in all the majesty of His divine character, and in all the powers of an everlasting life. Herod could not kill Him, satan could not seduce Him, death could not destroy Him, the sepulchre could not hold Him; and yet He stands forth upon the highest pinnacle of heavenly glory, proclaimed of God, acknowledged by angels, adored by saints and feared by devils, as a living personal Christ; rejected, crucified, exalted, glorified, and coming again in like manner as He ascended; to raise the dead, to judge the world, to save His people, to be glorified in His saints, to crush the usurper-- to destroy His foes and to reign forever as the Lord of all. Yes, HE IS OUR LORD. (By H.L.H)

The kingdom of God is plagued with labor trouble. "The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest , that he will send forth laborers into His harvest." Matthew 9:35-38. Stop telling excuses not to share the gospel, and explaining away the reasons not to involve in the commission which Jesus has given to us. Go and tell about this unconquerable Christ to the world, share about His redeeming love, contribute generously to the messengers who are out in the field, and help to demonstrate His love through compassion projects. Christian dare not be satisfied with feeble half-hearted efforts in this most vital of all possible works, for we deal with human souls in relationship to eternity.

Pastor Samuel Isaac
