Jesus Gives Us Power to Resist Evil and Do Good ㅡ

 “In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”

 (John 1:4)

 Christ is the “Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” (John 1:9).

As through Christ every human being has life, so also through Him every soul receives some ray of divine light.

Not only intellectual but spiritual power, a perception of right, a desire for goodness, exists in every heart.

But against these principles there is struggling an antagonistic power.

The result of the eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil is manifest in every man’s experience.

There is in his nature a bent to evil, a force which, unaided, he cannot resist.

To withstand this force, to attain that ideal which in his inmost soul he accepts as alone worthy, he can find help in but one power.

That power is Christ.

Co-operation with that power is man’s greatest need.
