Christian, there is a power in you-the "Holy Ghost-which is ever ready to lift you up in soul to the heights whence He's come. But the way to it is the cross. If you have learned to glory only in the cross, you know that power and you know those heights. But beware lest power be your object, for if it is, a work is needed to be yet done in you which will make you not desire for power, but glory in the cross.

I Beseech you, carry about in your body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in you, as you pass through the world:not having a word to say for self, not coming with I, I; not wishing to become more worthy,-not I at all, but reckon yourself to be dead. Had not Paul thoroughly done with self when he could say, "Not I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God"?
