A Devotion by Jack Manor
by Jack Manor
Thought: His life's work is to be ours. In Jesus, we have a purpose to live for, a pattern to live like, and power to live with.
Verse: "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus" (Hebrews 12:1-2).
Quote: "Remember the Lord Jesus that you may follow him. In sickness, recollect him in his patience. When you are persecuted, recollect him in his gentleness. In holy service, remember him with his burning zeal. In times of solitude, remember his midnight prayers. And when you are in public and have to bear witness, remember him and his lion-like declarations of the gospel. Remember him so that he becomes your pattern, and you are the reproduction of himself, and so the best memorial of him." -- Charles Spurgeon
