85 in the soul ! And yet it is to be feared that many of liis followers know but little of it. Some have merely an historic Christ. They receive the facts recorded of his life and death as the ground of confidence in Him as the Sav- ior of the world. They believe in that Christ who appeared in Judea eighteen cen- turies ago, and rest their hopes of salvation upon his finished work. But Christ, like any character in history, is with them only an object of outward contemplation. Others have a dog...matic Christ : the Christ of the catechism and the schools. They be- lieve in the atonement, in the doctrine of jus- tification by faith alone, in the mediation of Jesus as their great High-Priest ; in a word, in all those doctrines called Orthodox. They are sound in the faith, and zealous for the honor of the Gospel ; and yet Christ is too much in their creed, and too little in their hearts. What we need in order to know the full power of Christ — the power of his life, the 8 86 MEDITATIONS. power of his doctrine, the power of his death, the power of his resurrection — is, to have Christ in us as the one object of thought, of affection, of desire, of hope, of joy — to be in sympathy with his feehngs and his work — to be swayed by his spirit.
