You find Christ only in death

Share

If you mention to a disciple, "I would love to know the Lord Jesus." "Well, now look, we belong to the certain-certain church, come down and join that--join us." See? Or, "We was... We belong to this certain-certain society and come join that." And now, that's what you hear. But Christ Himself pointed people to His death and said, "Except a corn of wheat falls into the ground, it abides alone." Oh, how different it is. Yes, sir. How different. But your life and His Life find each other, not at the church, not in a building, not in a creed, not in good works, but in the cross where you are crucified with Him. That's where you find Christ. You don't find Him by doing better, turning a new page, starting a new life, you don't find Christ. You find Christ only in death, not in a manger, not in a confession. To believe in certain creeds and fables, you don't find Christ there. A true servant takes you to Him, and He is the Word.
