I come back to this point; we are here today and with each one

of us the washing of water by the word is going on; let the

thought arrest us, we are not our own; we have been bought

with a price. Paul says, “the Son of God, who has loved me

and given himself for me”, Galatians 2: 20. Could there be any

greater incentive to cause devoted committal to Christ

amongst us, and to what is of Himself here? I leave it at that.

Peter speaks about the blood; we have been redeemed by

precious blood; that is the price, dear brethren. Let it come

home afresh to every heart that we have been bought, we

belong to Another. May the Lord bless the word.
