Many have forsaken Christ and walk no more with Him; but what reason do we have to make a change? Has there been any reason for it in the past? Hasnt Jesus proved Himself all-sufficient? He appeals to us this day; Have I been a wilderness unto you? When our souls have simply trusted, have we ever been confounded? Have we, up until now, found our Lord to be a compassionate and generous Friend to us and hasnt simple faith in Him given us all the peace our spirit could desire? Can we so much as dream of a better Friend than He has been to us? Then change not the old and stop trying for new and false. As for the present can that compel us to leave Christ? When we are hard beset with this world or with the severer trails within the Church, we find it a most blessed thing to pillow our head upon the bosom of our Savior. This is the joy we have today that we are saved in Him and if this joy be satisfying, then why should we think of changing? Who barters gold for dross? We will not leave our Lord until one better comes along and since this can never happen, we will hold Him with a grasp immortal and bind His name as a seal upon our arm. As for the future, can we suggest anything which can arise that will render it necessary for us to mutiny or desert the old flag to serve under another captain? As believers, we should think not! If life be long; He changes not. If we are poor, what better than to have Christ who can make us rich? When we are sick, what more do we want than Jesus to make our bed in our sickness? When we die, is it not written that neither death, nor life, nor things present, nor things to come, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord! We say with Peter, Lord, to whom shall we go. John 6:67 Roland
