A real Christ?
The Christ of a great many professors is only fit to occupy a
niche on the church wall, as a dead, inactive, but revered person.
Jesus is not a ‘Real Christ' to many, he is
not a Christ who can
really befriend them in the hour of grief; not a brother born for
adversity, not a condescending companion.
But the Christ of the well-taught Christian, is a sympathizing,
practical friend, who is actually near, entering into our sorrows,
sharing in our crosses, and taking a part with us in all the battle of life.
