"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and
supplication for all saints." (Ephesians 6:18)
Believe me, you can only plead with God as you know Christ. He alone is the channel by which God can bless. . . . The power of intercession is a great thing to the servant of God. (G.V. Wigram)

"Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you . . . rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven." (Luke 6:22-23)
If you can make yourselves happy and comfortable in this world which has rejected Jesus, count not on His blessing. (J.N. Darby)
N.J. Hiebert # 2944
"Looking unto JESUS the author and finisher of our faith." (Hebrews 12:2)

N.J. Hiebert # 2945
"He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father." (John 14:9)
None but the Son of the Father could make such a claim. He alone, who dwelt in the bosom of the Father, could fully declare - though in human form - the heart and the character of God. All that He said, all that He did, and all that He was, was a revelation of God to men. Well might His disciples exclaim, "What manner of Man is this?" (Jim Flanigan)
