Acquired By Communion With Christ

As courtiers are more polite in their manners than ordinary subjects, because they are more in their prince’s company, so may the society of the Lord’s holy servants raise the tone of our thought and make us aspire after a sanctity beyond what we possess. If the society of Christ’s disciples be thus helpful, we may be sure that communion with their Lord will be still more so.

If we learn good manners from the man, what may we expect from being with the master. From Jesus we shall learn gentleness and love, purity and self-sacrifice, and so acquire the courtly manners of the Prince of Peace. There is no preparation for heaven like abiding with heaven’s Lord. The oftener we are in God’s court, the more holy we shall become.—SPURGEON.
