On an old slab in the Cathedral of Lübeck, Germany under the title “Thus Speaketh Christ Our Lord,” there is inscribed the following:—
Ye call me MASTER and obey me not, Ye call me LIGHT and seek me not, Ye call me WAY and walk not, Ye call me LIFE and desire me not, Ye call me WISE and follow me not, Ye call me FAIR and love me not, Ye call me RICH and ask me not, Ye call me ETERNAL and seek me not, Ye call me GRACIOUS and trust me not, Ye call me NOBLE and serve me not, Ye call me MIGHTY and honor me not, Ye call me JUST and fear me not, If I condemn you, blame me not.
In an old book are found these words: “Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.” “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” To acknowledge Christ in our words but not in our ways is to honor him with the lips while the heart is far from him.
