Lets have Andrew Murray Classics... Andrew Murray (May 9, 1828 – January 18, 1917) was a South African writer, teacher, and Christian pastor. Murray considered missions to be the chief end of the church. (wikipedia.org) Excerpt from the book: The words, from which I want to present a simple message, will be found in the Gospel according to St. Luke, the 24th chapter and the 31st verse: And their eyes were opened, and they knew Him. Some time since, I preached a sermon with the words Jesus Himself as the text; and as I went home I said to those who were walking with me: How possible it is to have Jesus Himself with us and never to know it, and how possible to preach of, and to listen to, all the truth about Jesus Himself and yet not to know Him. I cannot say what a deep impression was made upon me as I thought over it. The presence of the Lord Jesus. That is the secret of the Christians strength and joy. And what is to make a difference between Christs disciples-not those who are just hoping to get to heaven, but Christs whole-hearted disciples-what is to make a difference between them and other people? It is this, to be in fellowship with Jesus-every hour of the day.. It is by faith that I learn to know the invisible One, the invisible God, and that I see Him. Faith is my spiritual eye-sight for the unseen and heavenly. You often try hard to trust God, and you fail. Why? Because you have not taken time first to see God. How can you trust God fully until you have met Him and known Him? Murrays short book, Jesus Himself, describes the relationship that all followers of Christ long for--to be guided by Christs Spirit on His path, hearing His voice and seeing with His light. Only 18 pages long, and available for free in the Kindle edition, it is packed with devotion for Jesus, and describes how to get closer to Jesus. Murray is candid in noting that there is nothing short of Jesus that will satisfy our hearts, and nothing short of complete devotion to Him that will transform our lives into ones that glorify Jesus. Not only should we think about, speak about, and believe in Jesus Himself, but we should come to the point where the disciples arrived: and they knew Him. Everything is to be found in that. These brief messages comprise a revision of two addresses, which originally appeared in the South African Pioneer. Though originally written in 1893, Jesus Himself feels like many of Andrew Murrays other works--as fresh and relevant as if it were written yesterday! This little booklet is small yet complete; an easy read that will both minister to you now, and have you looking for more from this amazing preacher! amazon/Jesus-Himself-Andrew-Murray-ebook/dp/B004UK2G9E/ref=pd_sim_kstore_63?ie=UTF8&refRID=0G8GAGFSNHFZACCMEPQ9 #MgaLibrengLibro #IsBack #TheBestThingsInLifeAreFREE #SpreadTheWORD
