"WHAT THINK YE OF CHRIST?"

(Matthew 22, 42.)

ffflHE old, old question which has been (HK ringing out over this world for now more than eighteen hundred years —once God's question to the world — now God's question to you. The world gave its answer at the cross. God is waiting for yours, • Sinners ! what think ye of Christ ? He died for sinners —for Hi s enemies—for His murderers. Think of Him— Stranger from Heavenwho sat on the well at Sychar and offered to that thirsty soul the living water. Think of —the Son of Godwho said to the wretched woman of Nam, " Thy sins be forgiven thee." Think

of Himthe . King of Kings—who stood, crowned with a crown of thorns and robed in a purple robe, on the steps of the Prastorium at Jerusalem, rejected by His own. Think of Him—the Lord of glory—crucified between two thieves, scoffed at and: derided by those He came to save, praying for His murderers. Think of Him—the Spotless forsaken by God because he was bearing the sinner's sins. Yes, and think of Him too who will one day sit on that Great White Throne as the Judge, from whose face the earth and the heaven shall flee away. What think ye of Chbist ? Is He anything to you ?

Christians, what think te of Christ ? Your Saviour, your great High Priest, your Advocate, your Lord. Think of Him who bore your sins in His own body on the tree. Think of Him— Man in the Glory—ever liveth to make intercession for us. Think of Him on His Father's throne, patiently waiting for the moment when He shall descend into the air and call His own to be with Him. Think of Him with whom we shall' dwell throughout eternity. Tbink of Him who alone can satisfy the hearts of His people down here. What think ye of Christ ? Is He everything to you ? L.J.M.N.
