The disciple are broken! The conver ation with the ' tranger" on tl1e Emmaus Highway was in part ' ... we tru ted that it had been He which should have redeemed I rael · and beside all this today is the third day si nce the e things were done." The "stranger" was constrained to 'abide with u " H ••• as He at with them, He took bread, and brake it , and gave to them. And their eye were opened, and they knew Him; . . .", ( Luke 24 :21 ) . As we come before the Lord each day to spend time in His Word (The Bread of Life) He ble es it, breaks it, feed us - and we are conscious of Hi presence. Job sa id (23:10-13). '... I have e teemed the Word of His Mouth ' more than 111y nec·essary foocl' '. It is really necessary imperative - a mu t - for us to spend real time in The Word, '"tl1al we may grow thereby". God mu t have the opportunity to feed us and we need to be grateful to Him for Hi pr.esent and eternal provisions to invest time and energy in prayer, first prai ing Hun and then pre enting ottr petition in behalf of other and for ourselve . Our Heavenly Father is the One who know the viciou ~ trategy and attack upon the children of God. As Christian women, men and young people, we need to pray more than ever as .we ~ee the time of the Rapture o very imminent . Surely our mind cannot 1mag1ne the terrifying experience for anyone left behind, after the Rapture. We want to be among those "caught away'\ we do o much want also to know that all who are near and dear to u are with us - with The Lord in the air and forever . . Really is there ANYTHING more important to yot1 and to me? In the mean– time let us ·:who are the children of light and of the day and not of darkne or of the night, be alert a to the hour and watch and be ober minded" . •< ! Thess. 5 :,,1-28) . Let us seek the Lord for His will, how we hould "Occupy t1l He come (Luke 19: 13). Sing-"He i coming again , He is coming again, The VERY SAME J~SUS, rejected of men; He is con1ing again, With power and great glory, He is coming again'". What a blessed purifying hope FOR THE BELIEVER! ' 6 APRIL, 1971 Gift-Filled Sunshine Bags • 1 f The Calvary Baptist Church of Tiffin Ohio recently held a missionary conference.
