Before H is voluntary death
Jesus saxl, " A s the F atlie i
knowelh me, even so know Itlie
F a ttie r; ami I lay down m y life
fo i the sheep . . .
' I h e re fo ie doth the Fathei
love me, because I lay down my
I lie , that 1 m ight take It again.
I his commandment have 1 re ­
ceived of m y F a th e r." (John
10:15, 17-18) Jesus explained
further:
“ G reate r love hath no man
than th is, that a man lay down
his life fo r his f i lends.
" Y e are my fi lends, IF YE
IX ' WHATSOEVER I COM­
M AND 5 o f ." ( J o h n 15:13-14)
A t another place Jesus said
to H is d iscip le s: " And why cad
ye me. L o rd , and do not the
things which 1 say?” (Luke
6:46)

receive His astonishing p ro ­
m ises and D ivine protection
upon earth as prom ised in
Luke 10:19.
A cco id ln g to these e x p lic it
words if even a devout C h ris ­
tian does not obey C h r is t’ s
whole in stru ctio n he is not a
frie n d of C h ris t ami C h ris t is

C h ris tia n s who do not oley
C h r is t's whole Instructio n fu l­

and his descendants befoi e the
com ing of C h ris t.
C h ristia n s have not studied
ca re fu lly C h ris t’ s w ords in
the Gospel of the Kingdom of
God. They seem not to pay at­

C h ris t as follow s: "N o man
hath ascended up to Heaven.”
(John 3:13) ami "W h ith e r I go,
ye cannot c o m e ." J o h n 13:33)
C h r is t's t a s k is to reveal

"G o preach,saying, T heK ing-

(M a tt. 10:7) "H e a l the s ic k . . .
