The Life that Jesus Led

By Mary Wilder Tileston


      Let all those that put their trust in Thee rejoice; let them also that love Thy name be joyful in Thee.
      PSALMS 6:11

      That they might have My joy fulfilled in themselves.
      JOHN 17:13

      GOD desires us to live as close as we can to the life that Jesus Christ lived. That is the broad avenue to perfect happiness. Most of us know by experience that in proportion as we have followed Him, we have found happiness. And we know by still larger experience that as we turn away from Him the world gets dark, and life ceases to be worth living.
      GEORGE HODGES

      EACH soul has its own faculty; it can help in some way to make the world more cheerful and more beautiful. This it is which makes life worth living. If we are living only for ourselves, our own amusement, luxury, advancement, life is not worth living. But if we are living as co-workers with Christ, as fellow-helpers with God, as part of the noble army of martyrs who bear witness to the truth in all time, then our lives are full of interest. This gives sweetness and strength to all our days.
      JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE
