Strong Through Faith
J. C. Harrison. 2 Timothy 2:1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. On an occasion of great drought, which the rain-makers attributed to the missionaries, a Bechuana chief with twelve spears came to command Robert Moffat to leave the territory on pain of death; but he said, "You may shed my blood, you may burn my dwelling; but my decision is made: I do not leave your country." And the cause of all this was his faith. He was a man of wonderful faith; he believed the Gospel was the power of God unto salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus. He felt that his Master was ever as near to him, and as full of love, as the wife of his bosom; he felt that Christ must reign until He should put all things beneath His feet; and just because he was so strong in faith, he was so strong altogether.
