To Live Is CHRIST

"Some Christians are for living on Christ, but are not so anxious to live for Christ. Earth should be preparation for heaven." ~C. H. Spurgeon

How can we expect to enjoy spending all of our time in heaven with our Saviour, if we are not even willing to spend a portion of every day serving and worshipping Jesus?

We are not called to self-indulgence and a life of ease, we are called to suffer for Christ by doing right. We are called be the body of Jesus Christ Himself;cry out for the nedy, to pray for the persecuted, to reach out to the lost, to show love to our brothers and sisters in Christ, and to love the Lord our God with every fiber of our being!

I heard it asked, "What good is it having someone who can walk on water if you don't follow in his footsteps?"



Footprints of Jesus

Sweetly, Lord, have we heard Thee calling,
Come, follow Me!
And we see where Thy footprints falling
Lead us to Thee.

Refrain:
Footprints of Jesus,
That make the pathway glow;
We will follow the steps of Jesus
Where’er they go.

Though they lead o’er the cold, dark mountains,
Seeking His sheep;
Or along by Siloam’s fountains,
Helping the weak.

Refrain

If they lead through the temple holy,
Preaching the Word;
Or in homes of the poor and lowly,
Serving the Lord.

Refrain

Though, dear Lord, in Thy pathway keeping,
We follow Thee;
Through the gloom of that place of weeping,
Gethsemane!

Refrain

If Thy way and its sorrows bearing,
We go again,
Up the slope of the hillside, bearing
Our cross of pain.

Refrain

By and by, through the shining portals,
Turning our feet,
We shall walk, with the glad immortals,
Heav’n’s golden street.

Refrain

Then at last when on high He sees us,
Our journey done,
We will rest where the steps of Jesus
End at His throne.
