Simple Lesson from His Life

"That life 
---was the light of the world, 
---and revealed the hidden depravity in the hearts of men. 
 
---It was the holiness of Christ that stirred up against Him the fiercest passions of falsehearted professors of godliness. 
The Jews looked for the Messiah to break the oppressor's yoke, yet they cherished the sins that had bound it upon their necks
 
The loveliness of a character in which benevolence, purity, and
holiness reigned supreme, which entertained no hatred except for sin, they despised. 
Thus it has been in every age of the world.--- When rebuked by the example of those who hate sin, hypocrites will become agents of Satan to harass and persecute the faithful. "All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." 2 Timothy 3:12."
E.G.W.
