What a privilege is nearness to Christ! Yet dear and precious as it is, how sadly is it overlooked! We may trace this in some degree to the believer’s oversight of his oneness with Christ. As the branch has one life with the vine, the graft one life with the tree, so he that is united to Christ, and grafted into Christ, has one life with Christ. Go where he may, he is one with Christ. Be his circumstances what they may, he is one with Christ. And as he is in Christ, so Christ is in him. He cannot look upon the darkest cloud that overhangs his path, but he may exclaim, “Christ is in my cloud; Christ is in my sorrow; Christ is in my conflict; Christ is in my need; Christ is all to me, and Christ is in all with me.”
Octavius Winslow — Glimpses of the Truth as It Is in Jesus (Philadelphia: Lindsay & Blakiston, 1856), p. 46
