The Joy of a Christian
Nehemiah 8:9-10
And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said to all the people…


Let us bear in mind three things —

I. A BRIGHT AND HAPPY WALK IS ONE OF THE GREATEST ORNAMENTS OF OUR CHRISTIAN PROFESSION.

II. INDULGENCE OF SIN, CARELESSNESS OF WALK, INCONSISTENCY OF CONVERSATION, WILL SURELY BRING A CLOUD OVER THE CHRISTIAN'S JOY.

III. IN CHRIST ALONE MUST WE PLACE ALL OUR HOPE AND CONFIDENCE.

(J. M. Randall.)
