found only in Him; "Ye in me and I in you"--"That ye may be
witnesses unto me," are His words.

Let us then each seek Christ afresh, that we may know and realize
Him as if finding Him for the first time. Let us read the Gospels
as if we had never before heard the story of His life. Let us come
again to Calvary. Let us by prayer and communion open all the
avenues of our being to His presence and spirit.

Let us seek a new realization and understanding of His character
and purpose. For what did Christ live? Ringing in His every word
and expressed in his every deed is the key note of His life--Love.
He lived to express, to incarnate love--the love of the father for
His children. We see Him turn from honor, riches, from what others
value and strive for, that he might manifest His love and teach
others how to love. The love of Jesus embodied more than it is
possible for us to comprehend in the height and depth and fulness
of its meaning.

His love expressed perfect understanding and sympathy. "Your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things."

His love was filled with compassion and tender pity for the needy
and suffering. "Jesus, moved with compassion, touched him and
saith unto him, Be thou clean."

His love felt human sorrow. At the tomb of Lazarus "Jesus wept."

His love shared human joy. "These things have I spoken unto you
that my joy might remain in you and that your joy might be full."
