Assurance
Commentary
Sometimes I think that we take assurance with a lack of seriousness. We stand in the pew on Sunday and sing the hymn ÒBlessed AssuranceÓ with a smile on our faces and all the time are quite unmindful of what such words must have meant to disciples of Christ in many ages.
It has not always been easy to be a disciple of Christ. Most of us have grown up in a world in which such discipleship is at least accepted and there is nothing negative attached to it except here and there. We are the fortunate ones.
