[Manna - March 16]
We know that we have passed from death unto life because we love the brethren,...and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1 John 3:14,16
ONE of the final and most searching tests of these
"brethren," and the one under which probably the
most of those once awakened and armed will fall, will
be—love for the brethren.
Seemingly many will fail
at this point and be therefore accounted unworthy of
an abundant entrance into the Kingdom on this score.
Should any be specially weak and liable to stumble,
the true soldier of the cross will not despise him, nor
revile him, even as the elder brother, the Captain,
would not do so.
On the contrary, he will be the
more watchful and helpful toward the weaker even
though he most enjoy himself in the company of the
stronger. Z.'99-88 R2453:4,5
