True
Christian Character
"... the prince
of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me." (John 14:30)
"I have left no loophole in my character
which the devil can make use of," He said.
Only when we give room to Satan, he can overpower us. Jesus had laid the perfect foundation to
Christian character. He was soon going
to die. But such a life cannot be hid or
killed and buried under the earth. If
you build a Christian character which gives no room to the devil in any corner,
no unforgiveness, no hatred, no selfishness, no sin of any kind, then even if all the world be against you, they cannot do anything to
undo you. But who was with Jesus on His
side? The clergy? No! The rulers, soldiers?
No! The disciples? No, no one. But he received the approbation of God.
"This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased." He moved like a power whom
no one could stop. If you follow the truth, you know that God will take care of
you and all that concerns you. This truth is established in Heaven. Even if you are buried you will surely rise
again. Jesus is going to be buried but
he would rise again. This is a principle
established by God. He is going to make
this principle take effect in you. His
death is no death. It is Life. His burial means sitting at the right hand of
God. There is no death, no burial and no
defeat for you if you are true to Jesus.
Jesus faced death victoriously.
He said, "I will not be with you for a short time but I will rise
again and be with you for ever."
People may speak evil of you, throw stones at you and want to kill
you. But be true to God in your
heart. No one can then do anything to
you.
