The True Test.

It is not, “What think ye of Christians?” but What think ye of Christ? that puts men to the best. Scattered through our towns and cities are many persons who have a personal grudge against some professing Christian, which they make an excuse for keeping aloof from religion. Some of these very persons once professed religion, but a business difficulty or a dispute of some kind with a Christian neighbor has led them to make shipwreck concerning the faith. They look to Christians, not to Christ, and hence their failure. They make what some man did to them of more importance than what Christ has done for them. It is evident that Christ is not their Lord and Master.
