He  does not need tongues, fleshly emotion, bodily healings, and creature  fame and importance in order to bring glory to Christ and call out His  sheep. He finds Christ\u2019s glory IN CHRIST HIMSELF! If we want to honor  Christ, glorify Christ, and preach Christ, we must not look for  something outside of Christ; but we must honor Him by preaching that  which is His already \u2013 His deity, His person, His man-hood, His life,  His death, His resurrection, His ascension, His intercession, His  return! Strange as it may seem, there is today very little preaching OF  CHRIST HIMSELF. Men preach about those who knew Him, who served Him, and  who wrote of Him. They preach about His church, His doctrines, and His  commandments. They preach series of messages on those who used to preach  Christ, on the conduct and conversation of those who profess to know  Christ, and on the duties and responsibilities of believers in Christ,  but very few messages ON THE PERSON AND WORK OF CHRIST HIMSELF. They  read papers and conduct discussions on ways and means to serve Christ,  and how to honor Christ; and they seldom get around to doing that which  God has ordained and commissioned us to do AND THAT IS TO PREACH CHRIST!  Jesus Christ is most glorified, His sheep most edified, His will and  purpose accomplished, and His church perfected in faith, hope, and love  WHEN WE PREACH CHRIST HIMSELF. The work of the Spirit of God is to  reveal to us the beauties of Jesus Christ, AND THEY ARE ALL FOUND IN  CHRIST HIMSELF.<\/p>\n<p>Henry Mahan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He Shall Glorify Me \u201cHe (the Holy Spirit) shall glorify ME; for He shall receive of mine, and show it unto you.\u201d \u2013 John 16:14 The Holy Spirit does not reach after something novel, new, or spectacular in order to glorify Christ or to preach Christ to men.
