Christ Lives Where Self Dies


“It is only when the last entrenchment of self-will has been surrendered that there can be a complete resurrection unto life. But when we are ready to say, “There is nothing that would dishonor Christ that I will not forsake, nothing that would bring glory to Him which I will not render or perform; I will give myself and all I have into His hands for time and for eternity; I will follow Christ whithersoever He goes,” Christ will not be long in taking full possession. With all His blessings He will enter our hearts, purging us from our evil, and so revealing himself to our inner consciousness that henceforth, in an unbroken line of deep, calm receptiveness, we may possess, and know that we possess, an indwelling Saviour.”

Thomas Cook
