He That Lacks Christ Lacks Everything

By T. L. Cuyler

I OFTEN recall the solemn words uttered by the great John Owen before the British Parliament: “A man may want liberty, and yet be happy, as Joseph was. A man may want children, and yet be happy, as Job was. A man may want money, and yet be full of comfort, as Micah was. A man may want friends, as Paul did in Nero’s judgment-hall, and yet be full of joy. But he that lacks Jesus Christ lacks everything.” He that is not in Christ has no beginning of good and no end of sorrows. He that is not born again had better never have been born at all. It will be the hell of hell to have shut ourselves out of Christ; and it is the beginning of heaven to come humbly and gladly unto Jesus, the invincible stronghold, and to abide in him. When he shall appear, we shall appear with him in glory.—T. L. Cuyler.
