[Manna - March 26]
We are not of the night, nor of darkness.
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others. 1 Thessalonians 5:5,6
THE Christian, as a disciple of the Lord, as a pupil
in the school of Christ, is being fitted for a place in
the Millennial kingdom—for a share in its glory,
honor and immortality....Hence, we see the necessity
for the frequent admonitions of the Scriptures, that the
Lord's people shall be awake;—not of those who slumber;
not of those who are idle; not of those who are
overcharged with the cares of this life; but that they
be fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.
Their service
toward the Lord is primarily the bringing of themselves
into as close harmony with the Lord's will, and
into as close likeness to the divine pattern as possible;
and secondly, it is that by precept and example
they may help others of the called ones in the same
narrow way. Z.'03-70 R3156:5
