Welcome to the school of Christ.
What must we be to be accepted with God, to be a part of His school ?
What must we be that heaven win ?
Here, to be wise is to first become a fool.
To seek to be first is to be last,
To be last is to be first,
A child again to become,
You must be born again ;
Of water and of the Spirit.
The old man must be broken, if heaven be gained.
Here is the first degree,
None else comes till this be acquired ;
No advancement till this be had.
But how must this be ?
Look ! He says, « Just as Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up ! »
To the cross of Christ, see !
Only in Him do we truly see !
Therein we find unselfish love in its fullest beam.
If we will, into our heart light it may bring !
Think not that there be another way,
Christ is the Way ;
Seek the Lord today and get your BA.
