Do you walk In white? - Chambers, Oswald

January 15 

Buried with him . . . That . . . Even so we also should walk in newness of life. Romans 6:4.

No one enters into the experience of entire sanctification without going through a white funeral8 the burial of the old life. If there has never been this crisis of death, sanctification is nothing more than a vision. There must be a white funeral, a death that has only one resurrection a resurrection into the life of Jesus Christ. Nothing can upset such a life; it is one with god for one purpose, to be a witness to him. Have you come to your last days really? You have come to them often in sentiment, but have you come to them really? You cannot go to your funeral in excitement, or die in excitement. Death means that you stop being. Do you agree with god that you stop being the striving, earnest kind of christian you have been? We skirt the cemetery and all the time refuse to go to death. It is not striving to go to death, it is dying baptized into his death. Have you had your white funeral, or are you sacredly playing the fool with your soul? Is there a place in your life marked as the last day, a place to which the memory goes back with a chastened and extraordinarily grateful remembranc eyes, it was then, at that white funeral, that i made an agree- ment with god?

This is the will of god, even your sanctification. When you realise what the will of god is, you will enter into sanctification as naturally as can be. Are you willing to go through that white funeral now? Do you agree with him that this is your last day on earth? The moment of agreement depends upon you.
