The First Lesson In Christ's

For Love Is Of God. He Is The Fountain, Author, Parent, And Commander Of Love; It Is The Sum Of His Law And Gospel.

He Whose Head Is In Heaven Need Not Fear To Put His Feet Into The Grave.

To Wait On God Is To Live A Life Of Desire Toward Him, Delight In Him, Dependence On Him, And Devotedness To Him.

See What A Hidden Life The Life Of A Good Christian Is, And How Much It Is Concealed From The Eye And Observation Of The World. The Most Important Part Of The Business Lies Between God And Our Own Souls, In The Frame Of Our Spirits And The Working Of Our Hearts, In Our Actions That No Eye Sees Except The All-seeing God. Justly Are The Saints Called God's Hidden Ones, And His Secret Is Said To Be With Them. They Have Meat To Eat And Work To Do That The World Does Not Know Of, As Well As Joys, Griefs, And Cares That A Stranger Does Not Share.

Christ's Followers Cannot Expect Better Treatment In The World Than Their Master Had.
