One with Christ Jesus

"Because I live, ye shall live also" (John 14:19).

Jesus has made the life of believers in Him as certain as His own. As sure as
the Head lives the members live also. If Jesus has not risen from the dead,
then are we dead in our sins; but since He has risen, all believers are risen
in Him. His death has put away our transgressions and loosed the bonds which
held us under the death sentence. His resurrection proves our justification: we
are absolved, and mercy saith, "The LORD hath put away thy sin, thou shalt not
die."

Jesus has made the life of His people as eternal as His own. How can they die
as long as He lives, seeing they are one with Him? Because He dieth no more,
and death hath no more dominion over Him, so they shall no more return to the
graves of their old sins but shall live unto the LORD in newness of life. O
believer, when, under great temptation, thou fearest that thou shalt one day
fall by the hand of the enemy, let this reassure thee. Thou shalt never lose
thy spiritual life, for it is hid with Christ in God. Thou dost not doubt the
immortality of thy LORD; therefore, do not think that He will let thee die,
since thou art one with Him. The argument for thy life is His life, and of that
thou canst have no fear; wherefore rest in thy living LORD.

"I am ... the bright and morning star." Rev. 22. 16

1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true, the only Light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise,
Triumph o'er the shades of night;
Day-spring from on high, be near,
Day-star, in my heart appear.

2 Dark and cheerless is the morn,
Unaccompanied by thee;
Joyless is the day's return,
Till thy mercy's beams I see;
Till they inward light impart,
Glad my eyes, and warm my heart.

3 Visit, then, this soul of mine;
Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, Radiancy Divine!
Scatter all my unbelief;
More and more thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day.
