That, inasmuch as I now feel in my heart the beginning of eternal joy, I shall after this life possess complete blessedness, such as eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither has entered the heart of man, therein to praise God forever.

Friends, again, pray that our Lord strengthens and encourages our brother and sisters in China. It is terrible what is happening to them. But our trust is not in man, indeed, it is in an almighty God who has plans to eternally prosper us.

Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States and author of the Declaration of Independence, once said that "The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family."

Friends, please continue to pray for the deprived people of China. Pray that our Lord God raises up mininsters to administer food and shelter to the Chinese people in this shattered region; also, pray that these ministers there will bodily preach the gospel of Christ that offers eternal hope for all those who belive in the life, death, resurrection and ascension into heaven of Jesus Christ.

That God, for the sake of Christ's satisfaction, will no more remembers my sins, nor the sinful nature with which I have to struggle all my life long; but graciously imputes to me the righteousness of Christ, that I may nevermore come into condemnation.

First, that believers, one and all, as members of the Lord Christ Jesus, are partakers with Him in all His treasures and gifts; second, that each one must feel himself bound to use His gifts readily and cheerfully for the advantage and welfare of other members.

Please pray with me for the survivors in China. First, our friend Hu would espesially appreciate your prayers and suppot because He lives there. Secondly, my prayer is that our Lord God provide food and shelter to the people of China. There is a great need for shelter because many have lost their homes. Finally, I pray that the gospel continues to go forth; moreover, that our Christian brothers and sisters during this time of national tragedy rest in the salvific power of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for this is the power that will turn their darkest day into noonday.

First, that He is co-eternal God with the Father and the Son. Second, that He is also given unto me: by true faith makes me a partaker of Christ and all His benefits, comforts me, and shall abide with me forever.

That in my sorrows and persecutions, I, with uplifted head, look for the very One, who offered Himself for me to the judgement of God, and removed all curse from me, to come as Judge from heaven, who shall cast all His and my enemies into everlasting condemnation; but shall take me with all His chosen ones to Himself into heavenly joy and glory.

First, that by His Holy Spirit He pours out heavenly gifts upon us; then, that by His power He defends and preserves us against all enemies.

Because Christ ascended into heaven for this end, that He might there appear as the Head of His Church, by whom the Father governs all things.

First, that He is our Advocate in presence of His Father in heaven. Second, that we have our flesh in heaven as a sure pledge, that He as the Head, will also take us, His members, up to Himself. Third, that He sends us His Spirit as an earnest, by whose power we seek those things which are above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God, and not things on the earth.

Not at all, for since the Godhead is incomprehensible and everywhere present, it must follow that it is indeed beyond the bounds of the manhood which it has assumed, but is yet nonetheless in the same also, and remains personally united to it.

Christ is true man and true God. According to His Human nature He is now not on earth, but according to His Godhead, majesty, grace, and Spirit He is at no time absent from us.
