Some he rules through
lust. Some he rules through covetousness. Some he rules through
appetite. Some he rules by their temper, but he rules them. And none
will ever seek to be delivered until they get their eyes open and see
that they have been taken captive.
-- When Christ was on the earth there was a woman in the temple who was
bowed almost to the ground with sin. Satan had bound her for eighteen
years; but after all these years of bondage Christ delivered her. He
spoke one word and she was free. She got up and walked home. How
astonished those at home must have been to see her walking in.
LITTLE FOLKS.
The Little Child and the Big Book.
I like to think of Christ as a burden bearer. A minister was one day
moving his library up stairs. As the minister was going up stairs with
his load of books his little boy came in and was very anxious to help
his father. So his father just told him to go and get an armful and take
them up stairs. When the father came back he met the little fellow about
half way up the stairs tugging away with the biggest in the library. He
couldn't manage to carry it up. The book was too big. So he sat down and
cried. His father found him, and just took him in his arms, book and
all, and carried him up stairs.
