THE HOLY SPIRIT BEARS TESTIMONY FOR JESUS. He has done so in the word: there Christ is set forth in His glory and grace. He testifies of Jesus by the preaching of the gospel: for we preach Christ crucified, and are determined, under divine teaching, to know nothing else among men. He testifies of Jesus to the heart: then we see His loveliness, behold His glory, pant for an interest in His salvation, and sigh for union with His person. Then we trust in His promises, accept His invitation, rejoice in His name, and melt in love and gratitude before Him. We have then no doubt about His divinity, suitability, or love; all we want is to enjoy, possess, and glorify Him. Every idol falls before Him; every grace springs up and is in exercise upon Him; we love Him, believe Him, hope in Him, mourn for Him, are humbled before Him, and are zealous for Him; our language is, "None but Christ for me!" O for the Spirit to testify of Jesus to our hearts and consciences, this day and everyday, especially on our last day; and to bear witness with our hearts that we are the sons of God!

For Meditation:
Saviour, I Thy word believe:
Mine unbelief remove;
Thy testifying Spirit give
The unction from above;
Shew me, dear Lord, how good Thou art,
And fix Thy witness in my heart.
