A Challenge for 1918

“What think ye of Christ?” (Matt. 22:42.) This is a question, my reader, that you will have to answer before God one day. You will not be asked in eternity what you think of “creeds” or “isms,” or “man-conceived theology,” but what do you think of Christ, the Son of God, the Saviour of the world? What do you think of His life, His death, His resurrection and ascension into heaven? What do you think of His atoning sacrifice? and have the words “It is finished” any significance to you? When Jesus was on earth in the country of Cæsarea Philippi, with His disciples, He asked them a question, “Whom say ye that I am?” Simon Peter answered: “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” The answer of Jesus to this confession of faith was: “Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona; for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father which is in heaven.” (Matt. 16:15-17.)
And a like blessing falls on those today who own the Divinity of Christ, and who trust in His finished work, But never was there such blasphemy against the person of Christ as there is today. Blasphemy at home, and blasphemy at the battle front.
