Holy Fellowship with Jesus

     But even if our conduct and conversation were more consistent with 

our faith, I would still have this third charge against us:  there is too 

little real communion with Jesus Christ.  If, by the grace of God, our 

conduct and conversation were consistent and our lives were 

unblemished, many of us are still sorely lacking in that area we call holy 

fellowship with Jesus.

     Men and women, let me ask you, How long has it been since you have 

had an intimate conversation with Jesus Christ?  Some of you may be 

able to say, "It was only this morning that I last spoke with him; I beheld 

his face with joy."  But I fear that the great majority of you will have to 

say, "It has been months since I have been with the Lord."

     What have you been doing with your life?  Is Christ living in your 

home and yet you have not spoken to him for months?  Do not let me 

condemn you or judge; only let your conscience speak:  Have we not all 

lived too much without Jesus?  Have we not grown contented with the 

world to the neglect of Christ?
