hrist is thy Saviour, the most
patient and compassionate of teachers. Study holiness in the light of
His countenance, looking up into His face. _He came from heaven for the
very purpose of making thee holy._ His love and power are more than thy
slowness and sinfulness. Do learn to think of holiness as the
inheritance prepared for thee, as the power of a new life which Jesus
waits and lives to dispense. Just think of it as all in Him, and of its
possession as being dependent upon the possession of Himself. And as the
disciples, though they scarce understood what they confessed, or knew
whither the Lord was leading them, became His saints, His holy ones, in
virtue of their intense attachment to Him, so wilt thou find that to
love Jesus fervently, and obey Him simply, is the sure path to holiness
and the fulness of the Holy Spirit.

BE YE HOLY, AS I AM HOLY.

Most Holy Lord God! I do bless Thee that Thy beloved Son, whom Thou
didst sanctify and send into the world, is now to us _the Holy One of
God_. I beseech Thee that my inner life may so be enlightened by the
Spirit that I may in faith fully know what this means.

May I know Him as the revelation of Thy Holiness, the incarnation in
human nature, even unto the death, of Thine infinite and unconquerable
hatred of sin, as of Thy amazing love to the sinner. May my soul be
filled with great fear and trust of Thee.

May I know Him as the exhibition of the Holiness in which we are now to
walk before Thee. He lived in Thy holy will. May I know Him as He
wrought out that holiness, to be communicated to us in a new human
nature, making it possible for us to live a holy life.

May I know Him as Thou hast placed me in Him in heaven, holy in Christ,
and as I may abide in Him by faith.

May I know Him, as He dwells in me, the Holy One of God on the throne of
my heart, breathing His Holy Spirit and maintaining His holy rule. So
shall I live holy in Christ.

O my Father! it pleased Thee that in Thy Son should all the fulness
dwell. In Him are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge; in Him
dwell the unsearchable riches of grace and holiness. I beseech Thee,
reveal Him to me, reveal Him in me, that I may not have to satisfy
myself with thoughts and desires, without the reality, but that in the
power of an endless life I may know Him, and be known of Him, the Holy
One of God. Amen.
