Our Imperishable Inheritance

                                            1 Peter 1:8
              "Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though
                   now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice
                          with unspeakable and full of glory."

        There is every reason why we should love him:  His character is infinitely lovely.  He has done more for us than any other one who ever lived among men.  He died for us, to redeem our souls.  He rose, and brought life and immortality to light.  He ever lives to intercede for us in heaven.  He is employed in preparing mansions of rest for us in heaven, and he will come and take us to himself, that we may be with him forever.  Such a Saviour ought to be loved, is loved, and will be loved.  The strongest attachments which have ever existed on earth have been for this unseen Saviour.
         There has been a love for him stronger than that for a father, or mother, or wife, or sister, or home, or country.  It has been so strong, that thousands have been willing, on account of it, to bear the torture of the rack or the stake.  It has been so strong, that thousands of youth of the finest minds, and the most flattering prospects of distinction, have been willing to leave the comforts of a civilized land, and to go among the benighted pagans, to tell them the story of a Saviour's life and death.  It has been so strong, that unnumbered multitudes have longed, more than they have for all other things, that they might see him, and be with him, and abide with him forever and ever.  I Pray that Christians around the world have this strong a love for our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
        Amen!!
