[Manna - August 17]
Quench not the Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5:19
THE Spirit of the Lord amongst His people is compared
to "a flame of sacred love" for the Lord and
all connected with His cause: this flame is enkindled
through the divine message in each one individually,
when begotten of the Holy Spirit, and appertains,
therefore, to the church collectively, under the guidance
of that Spirit.
In proportion as the church
grows in knowledge and in love and in fellowship
with the Lord this "flame of sacred love" will make
it a light in the world,—a city set on a hill, which
cannot be hid. Z.'03-25 R3137:2
