O Christian, look upon thyself now, and bless thy God to see what a change there is made in thy state, since that black and dismal time, when thou wert slave to the prince of darkness.
William Gurnall, The Christian in Complete Armour

I find it helpful to visit the grave that Christ pulled me out of occasionally. Not everyone has a grisly testimony, but even if the stench of your old grave isn’t so pungent, I’m sure you can imagine what it could have been without saving grace. A deep sense of gratitude comes from seeing where you were, or could be, were it not for the cleansing blood of Jesus.
