Ruth the Moabitess (1881)
AUTHOR: | Bazemore, Thomas J. |

THUS THE PERSECUTIONS, losses, and crosses, and trials,
and afflictions, which the Christian is called upon to suffer for
Christ’s sake in this world, are sanctified of the Lord for his
good spiritually; that he may know more and more of Jesus, the
Captain of his sufferings; that he may know more and more of
him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his
sufferings, being through suffering made more and more conformable
unto his death.
Jesus was a man of sorrow and acquainted with grief, while
here in the flesh suffering for his people; and when the Christian,
while in the flesh, draws more closely to Jesus, in his
experience, it must be through sorrow and grief, through the
furnace of affliction. It was in the fiery furnace that the Hebrew
children were blessed with the immediate presence of the blessed
Jesus, to sustain and cheer them. Well may the sorely afflicted
child of God rejoice even in the midst of his afflictions, if Jesus
is with him. |
