Christ—perfect through sufferings




Christ—perfect through sufferings

‘For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.’ 
Hebrews 2:10

Suggested Further Reading: 
Revelation 7:13–17

We must not say what God could do or could not do, but it does seem to me that by no process of creation could he have ever made such beings as we shall be when we are brought to heaven; for if he had made us perfect, yet then we should have stood through our own holiness; or if he had forgiven us without an atonement, then we should never have seen his justice, nor his amazing love. 

But in heaven we shall be creatures who feel that we have everything but deserve nothing, creatures that have been the objects of the most wonderful love, and therefore so mightily attached to our Lord that it would be impossible for a thousand Satans ever to lead us astray.

 Again, we shall be such servants as even the angels cannot be, for we shall feel under deeper obligation to God than even they. They are but created happy; we shall be redeemed by the blood of God’s dear Son, and I am sure, brethren, day without night we shall circle God’s throne rejoicing, having more happiness than the angels, for they do not know what evil is, but we shall have known it to the full, and yet shall be perfectly free from it. 

They do not know what pain is, but we shall have known pain, and grief, and death, and yet shall be immortal. 

They do not know what it is to fall, but we shall look down to the depths of hell and remember that these were our portion. How we will sing, how we will chant his praise, and this, I say again, shall be the highest note, that we owe all to that bright one, that Lamb in the midst of the throne. 

We will tell it over, and over, and over again, and find it an inexhaustible theme for melodious joy and song that he became man, that he sweat great drops of blood, that he died, that he rose again.

For meditation: 

Sinners have received far more attention from God than his holy angels have (Hebrews 2:16). If angels serve him with praise and long to learn more about the gospel of our salvation, how much more should we (Psalm 103:20–22; 1 Peter 1:12–13).

Caleb—the man for the times.


Caleb—the man for the times

‘But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.’ 
Numbers 14:24

Suggested Further Reading: 
2 Timothy 1:1–7

I would to God that we had all of us that which is the distinguishing mark of a right spirit, the spirit of faith, that spirit which takes God at his word, reads his promise, and knows it to be true. 

He that has this spirit will soon follow the Lord fully. 
Unbelief is the mother of sin, but faith is the nurse of virtue.

 More faith, Lord, may we have more simple childlike faith upon a precious Saviour! Then a faithful spirit always begets a meek spirit, and a meek spirit always begets a brave spirit.

It is said of the wood of the elder tree that none is softer, but yet it is recorded of old that Venice was built upon piles of the elder tree because it will never rot; and so the meek-spirited man who is gentle and patient lasts on bravely, holding his own against all the attacks of the destroying adversary. 

The true believer has also a loving spirit as the result of Jesus’ grace. He loves God, therefore he loves God’s people and God’s creatures, and having this loving spirit he has next a zealous spirit, and so he spends and is spent for God, and this begets in him a heavenly spirit and so he tries to live in heaven and to make earth a heaven to his fellow-men, believing that he shall soon have a heaven for himself and for them too on the other side of the stream. 

Such a spirit had good Caleb.
 We cannot imitate him till we get his spirit; we are dead until God quickens us. 

O that his Holy Spirit would lead us to go to Jesus just as we are, and look up to him and beseech him to fulfill that great covenant promise—‘A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will 
I put within you.’

For meditation:

 The Holy Spirit dwells in every truly converted person (Romans 8:9; 2 Timothy 1:14), but Paul still found it necessary to remind Timothy of the kind of spirit God has given us (2 Timothy 1:7). Is the fruit of the Spirit seen in your life (Galatians 5:22–23)?

Immortal Till Work Done



Immortal Till Work Done

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
 (Psalm 118:17)

A fair assurance this! It was no doubt based upon a promise, inwardly whispered in the psalmist's heart, which he seized upon and enjoyed. 

Is my case like that of David? Am I depressed because the enemy affronts me? Are there multitudes against me and few on my side? Does unbelief bid me lie down and die in despair-a defeated, dishonored man? Do my enemies begin to dig my grave?

What then? Shall I yield to the whisper of fear, and give up the battle, and with it give up all hope? Far from it. 

There is life in me yet: "I shall not die." 
Vigor will return and remove my weakness: "I shall live." 

The Lord lives, and I shall live also. 
My mouth shall again be opened: 
"I shall declare the works of Jehovah." 

Yes, and I shall speak of the present trouble as another instance of the wonder-working faithfulness and love of the Lord my God. 

Those who would gladly measure me for my coffin had better wait a bit, for "the Lord hath chastened me sore, but he hath not given me over unto death." 

Glory be to His name forever! I am immortal till my work is done. Till the Lord wills it, no vault can close upon me.
