Encouragement in CHRIST JESUS, 18 February, 2023 A.D.
" Henceforth know we no man after the flesh; yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh; yet henceforth know we Him no more." —I Corinthians 5:16 [KJV] How eminent does the grace of God shine in the conduct of Levi! when the glory of Jehovah was at stake, when his honor was to be vindicated against those who had sinned with an high hand, "He said unto his father and mother, I have not seen him:" —that is, no one that mine eye shall pity, nor mine hand spare, who has transgressed in this matter. "Neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor know his own children." — Deuteronomy 33:9 . The Lord our God is a jealous God. It behoves His children to be valiant for the truth as it is in Jesus. It is our duty to face all opposition against it; to stand in defence of it from every quarter, and to know no man after the flesh, so as to give up the truth for fear of Him. This is our highest honor; and this is highly acceptable in the sight of our God. "
