One of the most challenging teachings of Jesus is found in Luke 6:27-28, “But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.” This command goes against every instinct of our carnal nature, which seeks retaliation rather than reconciliation. The natural human response to injury is bitterness and revenge, yet Jesus calls His followers to a higher standard of love and grace. This teaching reveals the depth of Christ’s love, and calls us to embody that love in a world full of hostility and conflict. 

Jesus’ command to love our enemies is radical because it contradicts the common wisdom of the world, which teaches us to love those who love us and to hate those who harm us. This kind of love is rooted in the nature of God Himself, who shows kindness to the unthankful and the evil: “But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil” (Luke 6:35).

To love our enemies means actively seeking their good, praying for their well-being, and refusing to harbour bitterness or seek revenge. This love is not based on feelings, but on a deliberate choice to reflect God’s character. The Old Testament also echoes this principle, urging kindness even to those who oppose us: “If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink” (Proverbs 25:21).

This kind of love demonstrates that we belong to God, whose nature is love (1 John 4:8). It reveals the transforming power of the Gospel, which enables believers to rise above the instincts of the flesh.

Jesus Himself is the ultimate example of loving one’s enemies. On the cross, amidst excruciating agony and injustice, Jesus prayed for His executioners: “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34). This prayer was not just a demonstration of divine love, but also a model for His followers to emulate. 

Stephen, the first Christian martyr, followed Christ’s example when he prayed for his killers – “And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge” (Acts 7:60). The apostles, too, embodied this teaching in their ministry – “being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it” (1 Corinthians 4:12b).

These examples underscore the truth that loving our enemies is possible, which is also a powerful witness to the transforming power of the Gospel of Christ. They show that Christians live by a different set of values—those of the Kingdom of God, where love triumphs over hatred, and forgiveness over retaliation.

Divine power enables us to love our enemies. Loving our enemies is humanly impossible without divine help. The carnal mind is predisposed to anger and revenge, making it incapable of fulfilling Christ’s command. However, God has not left us without help. The Holy Spirit, who dwells in every believer, empowers us to love beyond our natural capacity. “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness” (2 Peter 1:3a).

The fruit of the Spirit includes love, patience, and kindness—qualities essential for responding rightly to those who hurt us (cf. Galatians 5:22-23). As we yield to the Spirit, He enables us to subdue our carnal tendencies and to manifest Christ’s love even in the face of hostility. Prayer is a vital part of this process. By praying for those who persecute us, we submit our hearts to God’s purposes, and open ourselves to His grace to forgive and bless. The act of praying for our enemies transforms our perspective, helping us see them not as adversaries to be defeated but as souls in need of God’s mercy.

Loving our enemies manifests a distinct testimony. When Christians love one another, and respond to hatred with love, they create a powerful testimony that the world cannot ignore. Jesus declared, “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” (John 13:35). The love that embraces even enemies is a distinctive mark of true discipleship. It confounds the world’s expectations and points to the supernatural work of God in the believer’s life. 

The early church’s response to persecution was a profound example of this. Despite severe opposition, the first Christians continued to preach the Gospel, pray for their persecutors, and show love towards them. This radical love contributed significantly to the rapid spread of Christianity across the world.

Moreover, loving our enemies glorifies God by reflecting His nature. As Jesus has taught, “That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good” (Matthew 5:45a). By loving our enemies, we show the world what God is like—a God who loves impartially, and gives generously even to those who rebel against Him.

Love makes us overcomers of evil. The Lord disallows and utterly excludes all kinds of revenge and retaliation against those who malign and persecute us. The Lord’s desire concerning us is that we will be a benevolent people even in our sufferings. 

The apostle Paul provides a practical application of Jesus’ teaching in Romans 12:20-21, “Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” To “heap coals of fire” on another’s head refers to that person’s remorse and conviction of his sin. When we respond to hatred with kindness, we leave room for God to work in our enemies’ hearts. By choosing to bless rather than curse, we refuse to be overcome by evil, and instead become instruments of God’s redemptive love.

Conclusion

Loving our enemies is one unmistakable evidence of a transformed heart. It reflects God’s character, fulfils Christ’s command, and is a powerful witness to the world. Though it is contrary to our natural inclinations, God has provided the Holy Spirit to empower us to live out this radical love. As we seek to follow Jesus’ example, may we pray for those who persecute us, bless those who curse us, and trust God to work through our obedience for His glory and the salvation of souls. In doing so, we demonstrate that we indeed are children of our Father in heaven.

Galatians 5:1b

^1b And be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

EXHORTATION:

Attempts had been made by false teachers and false brethren, who were the agents of Satan, to deprive the Galatian Christians of their Christian liberty. It was apparent to Paul that some in the Galatian church were influenced by the false teachers who instructed them to return to the ceremonial observances of the Jews. So Paul warned the Galatians to stop turning back to different forms of legalism and self-efforts which would ensnare their souls. The verb he used in his admonition, “be not entangled again”, is a present imperative with a negative particle; and thus serves as a strong command to stop an act which is already in process. He wanted them to act immediately to stop being persuaded by the false teachers of ceremonial observances. Christ’s life and atoning death on the cross have accomplished all that is needed for our salvation.

Paul emphasised that it was Christ Himself—not our own merits or our own deeds—that set us free from our sins and condemnation. Paul had clearly taught that it is not by our works that we are redeemed, but by the righteousness of God that Christ provides. As Paul said in Romans 10:3-4, “For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.”

Paul further warned them that the doctrine of ceremonial observation is a “yoke of bondage”. The apostle Peter also used this same image in his rebuke of those who persuaded the believers to observe the Jewish ceremonies. He chided them, saying, “Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?” (Acts 15:10)

A yoke is an emblem of slavery or bondage. Farmers place the yokes on the necks of their oxen to control them while they plough the land. It adds unpleasant burdens and restrictions to the creatures. The religious legalists, by their insistence on observation of Jewish rites, were trying to place a yoke of bondage on Christians who were already liberated from the yoke of sin and curse of the Law. Christ died to set us free from everything that enslaved our souls. We should not go under the burden of anything or anyone to be saved. Let us follow our Liberator, Christ, alone.

Galatians 5:1a

^1a Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free.

EXHORTATION:

This is an exhortation from the apostle Paul to the Galatian believers not to allow themselves to be intimidated by the false teachers, such as Judaizers, who insisted that circumcision and other ceremonial ordinances of the Old Testament law are obligatory for salvation. Paul had been warning the Galatians against them – “because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you” (Galatians 2:4-5).

Paul then established them in the truth of the Gospel, saying, “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified” (Galatians 2:16). In fact, if he ever taught them that “righteousness come by the law”, he would “frustrate the grace of God” (2:21). Later in Galatians 3:24-25, Paul expressly taught them that the law was a schoolmaster or guide “to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.” Paul also told them that “if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing” (5:2), and that “Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace” (5:4). It is for those reasons that Paul exhorted the Galatian believers to stand firm in the liberty that Christ has won for them, and not be brought again under the bondage of ceremonies.

Christ has already freed us from many tyrannical masters. Here is a list of the bondages from which we are freed: (1) bondage of sin (Romans 6:14, 18, 22); (2) accusing conscience (Hebrews 9:8-12; 10:1-10, 19, 22); (3) wrath of God (Romans 5:9, 10; 1 Thessalonians 1:10); (4) Satan’s tyranny (2 Timothy 2:26; Hebrews 2:14); (5) curse of the law (Galatians 3:13); (6) law of ceremonies (Romans 8:2; Ephesians 2:14-16); (7) human traditions and ordinances (Galatians 4:10-11; 1 Corinthians 7:23; 1 Peter 1:18).

Not to stand firm by faith in the freedom that Christ has promised is to continue under all those terrible oppressions. Let us be firm in maintaining the great principles of Christian liberty and never again yield to those things that once enslaved us.

2 Corinthians 3:17

¹⁷ Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

EXHORTATION:

The title “Lord” here, according to the immediate context (vv. 14, 16, 18) refers to the Lord Jesus. The apostle Paul’s words, “the Lord is that Spirit”, do not confuse those two Persons of the Godhead. Instead, they affirm the Holy Spirit’s deity. In this short verse, Paul uses short clauses and simple, unsophisticated words to convey to us a very profound message.

Paul has been communicating in the preceding text the plainness and clarity that Christ gives to those who come to Him concerning the divine righteousness and glory that He grants to them. The apostle said that like the veil which Moses put on that obscured the glory of God that shone on his face, there appeared a veil of unbelief in most of the Jews that obscured their view of Christ. But like Moses who removed his veil whenever he entered the presence of God, Christ will now remove the veil of unbelief from all who come to Him (v. 14b). Their veil of unbelief is now removed by the Spirit of the Lord. The Holy Spirit carries out the will and purposes of Christ and reveals Him and His purposes to His people (John 15:26; 16:6-15).

All those who come to Christ will have their veil of unbelief removed by the Holy Spirit. And with that obscuring veil removed, believers will receive a clear view of Christ of the Scriptures. Paul views the Lord to be the Spirit at work in giving the believers the correct understanding of God’s revelation. Through the Word, the Spirit changes a person’s heart, gives him life and understanding, and leads him to freedom in Christ.

The Spirit of the Lord will grant believers freedom from dark and false thinking about God’s righteousness, freedom from their prejudices and superstitions, freedom from slavery and bondage of sin, and freedom from fear of death and condemnation. The Spirit will lead them to the full measure of their freedom as God’s children.

Moreover, under the influence of the Spirit of the Lord, Paul and other apostles expounded the glory of Christ with openness and boldness, so much so that many unbelieving Jews and Gentiles came to the full knowledge of Christ. Let us pray that preachers of our time will be filled with the Spirit to expound Christ of the Scriptures to bring many to the saving knowledge of the glory of our Saviour.

Romans 8:2

² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

EXHORTATION:

The freedom that Jesus offers (John 8:32, 36) is not an unworkable optimism, but a most wonderful and powerful experience in every genuine believer. In our text, the apostle Paul describes Christian freedom as a powerful and enduring operation of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers.

The word “law” here indicates the governing influence or operation of the Spirit. The Spirit is also characterised as “the Spirit of life”, that is, the life-giving Spirit. Jesus said in John 6:63, “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” The phrase “in Christ Jesus” tells us that the Spirit is sent by Christ and also that He exercises His influence on the believers in accordance with Christ’s will and purposes.

This mighty working of the Spirit is only in Christ Jesus. Without coming to Christ, none can enjoy the liberation of soul that the Spirit of God administers. Christians’ freedom from sin and its condemnation is administered only through the vital union with Christ Jesus, which is empowered and sustained by the Spirit of God.

The Spirit not only gives believers new life in Christ, but also dwells within believers, nurturing, leading and empowering their lives in Christ. Without the Spirit’s enabling, spiritual life cannot be sustained. Because of the Spirit’s indwelling and constant empowerment, all true believers can draw strength to live triumphantly over the lust of the flesh and every temptation of the world. By the operation of “the law of the Spirit of life”, we become free from “the law of sin and death”. The governing power of the Spirit cancels the operations of sin and death in our lives. The Spirit helps the believers to defeat the power of sin.

The Spirit alerts us to the presence of sin. He makes us very sensitive to the presence of sin, and cautions us against it. He empowers us to fulfil the law of God through obedient lives. He testifies and assures us that we are the children of God. He also drives away fear from our hearts by energising us to call on God as “Abba, Father” (Romans 8:15). He Himself intercedes for us in our infirmities (Romans 8:26). The Spirit’s presence and special operations in us will liberate us from the shackles of sin’s bondage.

John 8:36

³⁶ If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

EXHORTATION:

Here, Jesus first of all directs our attention to the fact that He is the “Son”. By using the title “Son”, He wanted to draw us to the fact that He is the undisputed Heir of all things, who wields the ultimate authority and power concerning all matters, even to free a man from his servitude. So in the preceding verse, He had said, “And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever” (John 8:35). As the only begotten Son of God, Christ enjoys unchallenged, eternal right to exercise the full authority vested in Him by the Father to liberate slaves. Jesus Himself said in John 3:35 - “The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.” Only Christ, the Son, has the power and freedom to liberate us from everything that shackles us.

In fact, the Old Testament prophet Isaiah had predicted that when the Messiah, the Son of God, comes, He will liberate those who have been under the repression of Satan, sin and death (cf. Isaiah 61:1-3). Jesus, citing that prophecy, said in Luke 4:18 that He was sent in the power of the Spirit “to set at liberty them that are bruised”.

Christ alone has the right of freedom. Since the Fall of Adam, all men are born slaves to sin, without the power to deliver themselves. Only by the gracious bestowment of freedom by the Son of God could one ever obtain one’s freedom. So our freedom is a benefit conferred by Christ, and we obtain it by faith. By His Spirit, He liberates our souls that we may gain freedom from sin and continue in that freedom. Thus, Paul testified in Romans 8:2, “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” About the freedom He grants us, Jesus says, “ye shall be free indeed”. An emphasis is placed on the word “indeed”. His freedom is not some unreal, foolish figment of imagination.

Many today are like the Jews whom Jesus rebuked for claiming that they were never in bondage and had always been free. They boastfully say that they are free to do whatever they like to do. They do not acknowledge that they are actually under the wretched bondage of sin.

Nonetheless, we who follow Christ and His truth rejoice to take heed of the admonition of the apostle Paul to “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage” (Galatians 5:1).

READ:

John 8:32

³² And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

EXHORTATION:

Jesus said, “Ye shall know the truth”. What then, is “the truth” that we shall know? In the Gospel of John, the word “truth” frequently refers to Christ and His words. John wrote about Christ in John 1:14 that “the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” Again, he affirmed in John 1:17 that “grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” When Jesus spoke concerning John the Baptist who had prepared the way for Him, He said that “he bare witness unto the truth” (John 5:33). The truth that John the Baptist bore witness unto was Christ. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life”.

The words of the Lord Jesus Christ are also referred to as “the truth”. Just before assuring the believing Jews that “ye shall know the truth”, He had told them in v. 31, “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed”. Hence, it is continuing in Christ’s words that help believers to know the truth. Christ is the Truth, the truth personified! He is the source of all truth, the embodiment of the truth, and His words grant His people the knowledge of His truth.

Continuing in Christ’s words brings us into a relationship with Him as His disciples, which enables us to truly know Him who is “the truth”. As true disciples of Christ, we are to walk in the truth (3 John 1:3), love the truth, and believe the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12). We are also to speak “the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15). When we abide in the knowledge of Christ and His words, we possess the truth that shall make us free.

Later in His conversation with the Jewish hearers, Jesus told them that they needed freedom for they were under the shackles of sin. In no uncertain terms, Jesus told them in John 8:34, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.” The servitude to sin is the most grievous bondage, far worse than any other kind of political or social servitude (cf. v. 33). Hence, freedom from sin’s influence and guilt is the greatest freedom.

As we abide in Christ and His truth, we shall experience true freedom from the slavery of sinful cravings, inordinate passions, degrading vices and all carnal propensities. Our yielding to the truth of Christ will grant us deliverance and freedom from all awful errors that once subjugated us.

John 8:31

³¹ Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed.

EXHORTATION:

Jesus was being challenged by some Jewish Pharisees concerning His claim that He is the Son of God. However, Jesus quashed their attempts to discredit Him. He never sought to conceal the truth, even in the face of most fearsome opposition. With greater boldness and determination our Lord declared the truth, even though the Jewish leaders were fuming with anger. The more they opposed, the more He testified.

His answers and assertions were so convincing that some of the Jews who heard Him speak believed at once that He was the Messiah, the Son of God. They received His doctrine. Though many of the Jewish leaders became more obstinate and cynical despite His preaching, there were also many who repented and believed on Him upon hearing His irrefutable, cogent and compelling proclamation of truth.

The unbelieving and recalcitrant Pharisees often followed Christ to engage Him in debates, and to denounce His teachings. They also wanted to dissuade the people from following Him. Jesus was acutely aware of their intentions. So He declared to the believing Jews what true discipleship means: “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed”.

It is not uncommon to see some hearers, being moved by the reasoning and earnestness of the preacher, manifest lots of sympathy and even excitement about the truth expounded. However, their enthusiasm soon vanishes, and they are no more to be found among the adherents of Christ. Such fleeting fervour is not the mark of a true disciple.

The true evidence of a genuine disciple of Christ is that he continues in the Saviour’s Word. This is the true test of Christian character. The apostle John said in 1 John 2:4, “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” So the apostle also reminds us in 1 John 2:24, “Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.” It is to those who persevere in His Word with obedience whom Jesus says: “then are ye my disciples indeed”. True Christians will always delight in the Word of their Lord; and only such will have the attestation and assurance from the Lord that they are His true disciples.

A testimony by Ricky and Stella Yang of God’s saving grace working through their witnessing! 

“Rescue the perishing, Care for the dying,
Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;
Weep o’er the erring one, Lift up the fallen,
Tell them of Jesus the mighty to save.
Rescue the perishing, Care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.”

These words from the hymn echoed in my head as we witnessed, with solemnity and rejoicing, the ordination of one of the preachers at the conclusion of our church’s 7th Missionary Conference on 14 June 2024. The passion for souls and the testimonies from the missionaries to preach Christ even amid oppression and in custody, did not deter or distract them from the call to preach and win some to Christ; they spoke of how these things reminded us of the greater urgency and burden to rescue the perishing and care for the dying, and be truly Proclaimers of Faith “Under Fire” – which was the theme of the Missionary Conference. 

On 17 June 2024, shortly after our return from the Missionary Conference, we received a call that one of our relatives, Mr Louis Lee, was taken to hospital and was in critical condition. With the Missionary Conference messages still freshly imprinted and warmly glowing in our hearts, we visited Mr Lee at the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit. Though Mr Lee was intubated and in discomfort, he was lucid and was able to respond in short breaths and nods. We praise and thank God for the timely treatment he received and, more so, for the timely reminder of the urgency to rescue the perishing and care for the dying. We shared the Gospel message with him and pointed him to Jesus, who is mighty to save. By God’s amazing mercy and grace, Mr Lee readily said, “Amen”, and acknowledged his faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation and expressed his readiness for baptism in the presence of his wife, Ailene. We immediately informed Pastor Koshy and he, together with Sis Carolyn and Eld Mah, visited Mr Lee and reaffirmed his faith that evening. It was such a relief to see Mr Lee’s condition stabilised and such a joy to see how his heart has been prepared by the working of the Holy Spirit, especially through times like this, to turn to Jesus Christ. All praise and thanks to God for saving Mr Lee, and for his confession of his faith in Jesus Christ through his baptism at the hospital. 

In our subsequent visits to Mr Lee, initially at the hospital and later at the nursing home, we prayed with him and regularly reminded him of the day he trusted Jesus Christ for salvation. We also learned during these visits of Mr Lee’s deep concern for his daughter, Marilene, who had Stage 4 cancer in her intestines and had been receiving treatments. Mr Lee repeatedly requested that we reach out to Marilene, and we said we would try. We also encouraged him to pray for the salvation of both his wife Ailene and his daughter Marilene.

We attempted to reach Marilene, and the opportunity came when we were informed that she was hospitalised recently in early February 2025. The Lord again reminded us of the call to rescue the perishing. We were so happy to receive a warm and hearty welcome from Marilene when we visited her at the hospital on 22 February. Though in pain and discomfort, Marilene was open to sharing with us the issues and concerns in her heart as she pondered over the uncertainty concerning which treatment option she should take for her cancer. We offered to pray for God’s direction and peace as she considered the options. At the same time, we asked if she would be open to us sharing the Gospel of peace and salvation. Again, through God’s amazing mercy and grace, she readily responded and said she had been considering doing Bible study with her neighbour. Praise the Lord for His perfect working and timing – her heart and soul have been prepared. Clearly and affirmatively, Marilene prayed with us, and confessed her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ! 

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Rom 10:9). What a joy and assurance it was when she also readily expressed her desire for baptism, and encouraged her mother, Ailene, to come to Christ, too!

Marilene’s condition took a sudden turn on 24 February when there was a rupture in her intestine, causing excruciating pain and intense discomfort. Her condition suddenly became critical, and necessitated an emergency surgery that evening. All praise and thanks to God for seeing her safely through her surgery, which thus resolved the burden of the treatment options that were weighing on her heart.

This also impressed upon us the urgency of arranging for her baptism. We arranged for Pastor Koshy and Elder Mah to visit Marilene at the Intensive Care Unit on 25 February, the day after her surgery. Though drowsy in the morning, she was alert and responsive when Pastor and Eld Mah visited that evening. Though the plan was to affirm Marilene’s faith in Jesus Christ and conduct her baptism, what a happy day and double joy it was when Ailene also opened her heart to the Gospel’s call and expressed her desire for salvation in Jesus Christ and baptism. All glory be to God for His redeeming grace through the precious blood of Jesus Christ! Mother and daughter were baptised in Marilene’s hospital that evening.

“O happy day that fixed my choice, On Thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice And tell its raptures all abroad.
 Happy day, happy day, When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray, And live rejoicing every day;
Happy day, happy day, When Jesus washed my sins away!”

Salvation is indeed of the Lord. Through His marvellous and providential working and perfect time, salvation has been brought to Louis, Ailene and Marilene in these trying times and on beds of afflictions. Please continue to pray for the Lee household, that the joy of the Lord and the sufficiency of His grace may be their strength through this trying season and in their growth in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.

All glory and praise to God! May the Lord be pleased to use us to “rescue the perishing”, “care for the dying”, and “tell them of Jesus the mighty to save”.
