                    "In the training of art students, the master does not merely tell them what is wrong in a design; he puts the right design beside the wrong and lets them judge for themselves, and that is exactly what Jesus Christ did in the Sermon on the Mount.”

                    On September 22, in 1871, an elderly British lady, 82 years young, was ushered into her heavenly reward. Earlier in her life, in 1835, her frustration at being an invalid left her feeling useless and questioning her very salvation. What she did next would echo through history. 
As a young woman,

                    [133].  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – I AM THE SON WHO IS BLESSED
This poem has as its basis the parable of the Lost Son sometimes called The Prodigal Son.  The first two stanzas are set when the lost son returns home.  He was lost because he was lost to sin and the degradation of that lifestyle.

Not I, but Christ.  That is how it ought to be.  That is the emphasis we need to have in our living and ministry.  I am nothing without my Lord.  If I think I am something I am deluded.  If I think the ability is mine I am a disgrace.
