Consider the Lilies. Alfreda "Oko" Martin

      Salvation

      These words from an ancient church wall motto show Christ as a Judge, and will help us evaluate the sincerity of our words:

       Thus speaketh Christ our Lord to us:

       Ye call Me Master, and obey Me not:

       Ye call Me light, and see Me not:

       Ye call Me way, and walk Me not:

       Ye call Me life, and desire Me not:

       Ye call Me wise, and follow Me not:

       Ye call Me eternal, and seek Me not:

       Ye call Me Gracious, and trust Me not:

       Ye call Me noble, and serve Me not:

       Ye call Me mighty, and honor Me not:

       Ye call Me just, and fear Me not:

       If I condemn you, blame Me not.

      This is an age of learning. If a man has not learning he is nothing. To be esteemed in this world, we must lean science, learn languages, learn painting, learn music. Fo every kind of learning is prized today except learning Christ.

      All around us there are those who are considered "well educated," who have never been in the school of God and those who are said to be "finished," who have no yet had their first lesson in the heart school of Jesus. Yet this is the only learning that God sets any price on.

      "Let him that Glorieth, glory in this, that... he knoweth me."

      —Jeremiah 9: 24

      Christ says "I am the Way." He does not say I know the way, or I have the way, or I show the way, or I lead the way. No, He is the Way. Those who get to heaven get there through him.
