“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:” (Colossians 1:27).
How great the difference between the old and the new way of deliverance! One-touch of Christ is worth a lifetime of struggling. I came across this testimony of a nurse concerning a patient in a hospital who was in danger of losing his sight from a small piece of the broken needle that had entered his eye.
Operation after operation had only irritated it and driven the foreign substance farther still into the delicate nerves of the sensitive organ. At length, a skilful young physician thought of a new expedient. He came one day without lancet and probes and holding in his hand a small but powerful magnet, which he kept before the wounded eye, as close as it could bear. Immediately the piece of steel began to move toward the powerful attraction, and soon flew up to meet it and left the suffering eye completely relieved, without an effort or a laceration. It was as simple as it was wonderful. By a single touch of power, the organ was saved and dangerous trouble completely cured.
It is thus that God delivers us, by the simple attraction of Christ’s life and power.
Brethren, you see how God can take a little thing to confound the intelligence of the wise. He knows just what to do in His time for Him to get the honour and the glory. Oh how I love to see God in service to His people. First, we have to be in Him to understand the mystery of His work.
