A servant of Jesus Christ.

Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am—If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour—Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
What things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ—Being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you—Thou art no more a servant, but a son.
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh.
R OM. 1:1; J OHN 13:13—JOHN 12:26—MATT. 11:29-30: P HIL. 3:7—ROM. 6:22; J OHN 15:15—GAL. 4:7; G AL. 5:1, 13

God shall wipe away all tears … there shall be no more death, neither sorrow … for the former things are passed away.

He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord G OD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the L ORD hath spoken it—Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the L ORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended—The inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity—The voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying—Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction—The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
The things which are not seen are eternal.

The fellowship of his sufferings.

It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord.
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not—In the world ye shall have tribulation—Because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
I looked for some to take pity, but there was none—At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me.
The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head—Here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Awake to righteousness, and sin not.

Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
It is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light—Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand—Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit—Lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls—Little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
1 C OR. 15:34; 1 T HESS. 5:5-6; R OM. 13:11-12—E PH. 6:13—E ZEK. 18:31—J AMES 1:21—1 J OHN 2:28-29

Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity.

I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me—Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God—If the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
He saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known—Not unto us, O L ORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.
P S. 51:2; J ER. 33:8—EZEK. 36:25—JOHN 3:5—HEB. 9:13-14—P S. 106:8—PS. 115:1

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit—After that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession.
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed—Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
We walk by faith, not by sight—Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
H EB. 11:1; 1 C OR. 15:19; 1 C OR. 2:9-10—E PH. 1:13-14; J OHN 20:29—1 P ET. 1:8-9; 2 C OR. 5:7—HEB. 10:35
