(This follows on the heels of yesterday's meditation.)
How handicapped would Philip have been had he been obliged to preach a different Christ -- a limited Christ. He would needs have said unto Samaria:
"Now, dear people, while I am preaching Christ to you and telling of the things He did whilst on this earth, you must not expect to see them now, for the light of the supernatural and miraculous demonstrations of the power of Christ is passed away with His ascension."
Somehow I do not believe that the revival would have been nearly as great and wonderful. Do you? But, praise the Lord, he knew no such handicap and, as he preached Christ unto them, he was able to say:
"Come, dear sinner, come to the living Jesus now. Forsake your sin. Give Him your entire being, seek ye His face, believe on Him with the whole heart and even now He will be your Saviour."
-- Aimee Semple McPherson
