Today’s Quote
The love of Christ within cannot help but shine outwardly.
— John Stott
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
The love the early Christians had for the Lord wasn’t a quiet feeling they kept hidden in their hearts, only to be expressed when they gathered on Sundays to sing hymns in honor of Christ. No, it was a passion so intense and all-consuming that it was visible in everything they did. Their love for Jesus
was like a flame burning at the core of their being, and it naturally spread outward, showing itself in their actions, their conversations, and even in the way they looked at others. This love for Jesus was so powerful that it couldn’t be contained; it was evident in every part of their lives.

When a person is privileged to provide goods or services to the Queen, they make sure everyone knows it. They print it on their business cards and hang a sign over their door, proud of their connection to royalty. But, beloved, there is a King whose service
is a far greater honor—an honor that even angels appreciate and archangels delight in. That King is Jesus of Nazareth, who was once rejected but now reigns forever.
