WALKING AS HE WALKED
THERE are plenty of people and plenty of activity going on, but neither the people nor what they are doing has any interest for those who are Christ's. In this respect we suffer with Him, even if we are not the objects of direct persecution. We are not at liberty to unite with the present world as regards its aims and principles and pleasures. We do not belong to it if we belong to Christ; for He expressly said, "I am not of this world" and He affirmed the same fact of His disciples saying, "Ye are not of this world." There are some who say, "That was all very well for Christ and His apostles, but we are not Christ nor His apostles." Those who speak in this style give evidence that they are yet strangers and foreigners, and aliens from the commonwealth of Israel; for the house of God is one, and the principle appertaining to one part belongs to all. John says, "He that saith he abideth in Him, ought himself so to walk EVEN AS HE WALKED."
ROBERT ROBERTS, Seasons of Comfort, pages 23-24
