36 TEE ACTS OF TEE APOSTLES soever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it yon. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in My name: ask, and ye shall receive, that yonr joy may be f nil. ' ' ' Higher and still higher they extended the hand of faith, with the mighty argument, ^^It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for ns."' As the disciples waited for the fulfilment of the promise, they humbled their 'hearts in true repentance, and confessed their unbelief. As they called to remembrance the words that Christ had spoken to them before His death, they understood more fully their meaning. Truths which had passed from their memory were again brought to their minds, and these they repeated to one another. They reproached themselves for their misapprehension of the Saviour. Like a procession, scene after scene of His wonderful life passed before them. As they meditated upon His pure, holy life, they felt that no toil would be too hard, no sacrifice too great, if only they could bear witness in their lives to the loveliness of Christ's character. 0, if they could but have the past three years to live over, they thought, how differently they would act! If they could only see the Master again, how earnestly they would strive to show Him how deeply they loved Him, and how sincerely they sorrowed for having ever grieved Him by a word or an act of unbelief! But they were comforted by the thought that they were forgiven. And they determined that, so far as possible, they would atone for their unbelief by bravely confessing Him before the world. 2 John 16 : 23, 24. . ^ jj^j^. 8 : 34.
