The testimony of an aged Christian

As for me, I will see your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in your likeness.

They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing.
Psalm 17:â€…15; 92:â€…14.

The testimony of an aged Christian
A young man emigrated to New Zealand in the nineteenth century and returned to England at a great age. The outward journey took months by sea, the return flight less than two days. He fell asleep in Jesus at the age of 110 years. One year previously he had given this testimony:

"I am approaching the moment when I shall enter the palace of the King of kings, whom I have had the joy to know as my Saviour for 93 years.

It will be wonderful to meet, after the resurrection, such famous men of faith as Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses and so many others in their glorified bodies. I shall probably learn from their own mouths how they tasted God's grace, of which I have had experience for so long.

"Yes, I shall have a place with them. But the One whom I shall behold in that glorious place will be the King Himself in His beauty.

"Although a sinner by my deeds and nature, I can rejoice in the moment that will be impressionable when I am introduced into His holy presence. Won't I feel ill at ease there? No, because my sins have been completely removed by the very One who occupies the throne. And I shall have the proof of it when I see in His hands, His feet and His side the marks of the sufferings He bore out of love to myself."

Todayâ€˜s reading: Ezekiel 45:â€…1â€…-â€…25 Â· Psalms 147:â€…1â€…-â€…10

FALSE PROPHETS AND THEIR PROPHECIES-THE FALSE PROPHET

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

The bankruptcy that saves

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - for the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease for ever.

You were not redeemed with silver or gold from your aimless conduct but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and...More
