Arm Yourselves

“HE suffered, being tempted.” In Him there was no response from within to the ceaseless appeal from without, and says the Scripture to us, “Arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for He that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin.” Our poor hearts are always ready to throw out tendrils to clasp the things of this world; but if we suffer we do not sin. Suffering is not sinning. This conflict goes on to the end, and so we are bidden, “Arm yourselves with the same mind.” B-k.
