If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is an absurdity and there is absolutely no need for it. What the world needs is not "a little bit of love," but major surgery. If you think you are helping lost people with your sympathy and understanding, you are a traitor to Jesus Christ. You must have a right-standing relationship with Him yourself, and pour your life out in helping others in His wayโ not in a human way that ignores God.
Oswald ChambersIntercession is about putting ourselves in otherโs shoes or having sympathy with others. But intercessions are about having the mind of God and see things through His perspective
Oswald ChambersNo matter who or what we are, God restores us to right standing with Himself only by means of the death of Jesus Christ.
Oswald ChambersIt is a great thing to see physical courage, and greater still to see moral courage, but the greatest to see of all is spiritual courage; oh, to see a person who will stand true to the integrity of Jesus Christ no matter what he or she goes through!
