CHRIST THE WORD

"And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen His glory, the glory as of a Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)

Let us serve Him faithfully as our Master. Let us obey Him loyally as our King. Let us study His teachings as our Prophet. Let us work diligently after Him as our Example. Let us look anxiously for Him as our coming Redeemer of body as well as soul.

But above all let us prize Him as our Sacrifice, and rest our whole weight on His death as atonement for sin. Let His blood be more precious in our eyes every year we live. Whatever else we glory in about Christ, let us glory above all things in His cross.
