That is
the promise Christ gave. He says, in connection with the coming of the Holy
Ghost: "I will come again to you." Christ said to His disciples: "I have
been three years with you, and you have been in the closest contact with
me, and I have done the utmost to reach your hearts; I have sought to get
into your hearts, yet I have failed; but fear not, I will come again. In
that day ye shall see me, and your hearts shall rejoice, and no man shall
take your joy from you. I will come again to dwell in you, and live my life
in you." Christ went to heaven that He might get a power which He never had
before. And what was that? The power of living in men. God be praised for
this! It was because Jesus, the humble One, the Lamb of God, the meek, the
lowly and gentle One, came down in the Holy Spirit into the hearts of His
disciples, that the pride was expelled, and that the very breath of Heaven
breathed through Him in the love that made them one heart and one soul.
Dear friends, Christ is yours. Christ as He comes in the power of the Holy
Spirit is yours.
