Christians
are supposed to be happy persons! Our generation has become well versed
in Christian terminology, but is remiss in the actual practice of
Christ’s principles and teachings. Hence, our greatest need today is not
more Christianity but more true Christians. The world can argue against
Christianity as an institution, but there is no convincing argument
against a person who, through the Spirit of God, has been made
Christlike. Such a person is a living rebuke to the selfishness,
rationalism, and materialism of the day. Jesus said to the woman at
Jacob’s well, “Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him
shall never thirst.” This sin-sick, disillusioned woman was the symbol
of the whole race. Her longings were our longings! Her heart-cry was our
heart-cry! Her disillusionment was our disillusionment! Her sin was our
sin! But her Savior can be our Savior! Her forgiveness can be our
forgiveness! Her joy can be our joy!
