The Beneficent Influence of a Christ-Attracted Life
Mark 1:19-20
And when he had gone a little farther there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother…


Anything but beneficent those lives might have been. Let the seawater which would madden those who drink it be drawn heavenward, and it will descend as wholesome refreshment for beast and bird and tree and man; and so men that would make the world's life madder become fountains of sweet water after Christ has drawn them into the sky of communion with Himself. You will remember that, and let Him uplift you. To be much with Him is essential to doing well in His kingdom.

(W. J. Henderson, B. A.)
