                                  Spirit  which  refused  to  accept  Christ

I wish that all would see that the very same spirit which refused to accept Christ, the Light that would dispel the moral darkness, is far from being extinct in this age of the world. There are those in our day who are no more ready to recognize and acknowledge light than were the people when the prophets and the apostles came with messages from God, and many rejected the message and despised the messenger. Let us beware that this spirit is not entertained by any one of us. [Rev. 2:1-5, quoted.]   {16MR 101.1}

Revelation 2: 1-5  Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;  (verse 2)   I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:  (verse 3)   And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.  (verse 4)   Nevertheless I have [somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. (verse 5)   Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
