User-Contributed Transcription Christ will have them completely supplied. Consider man's wants.1. Saving knowledge. Man has knowledge by which he can make the rivers his road and the ocean his highway. We can measure the distance to the sum and the stars, and make the lightening of heaven do his bidding he can weigh the hills in scales and the mountains in a balance. He has powers which fit him to be a companion of angels, and yet he needs that knowledge which will save the soul. All else is vain.2. Man needs justifying righteousness, No man can obtain this by his own merits,3. He needs the aids of the Holy Spirit4. He needs an Almighty Friend to protect him against the evils who encompass him. 5 Man wants a home in heaven. To know how dear is an earthly home and how we pity the homeless wanderer. No home in all the wide unfriendly world! Well may we love our earthly home, but we need a home beyond the skies, when the turmoil of life shall be past. Consider the fact that those who receive Christ will have every wants completely supplied.
