“Girt about the paps with a golden girdle.” — Revelation 1:13
One like unto the Son of Man” appeared to John in Patmos, and the beloved disciple marked that He wore a girdle of gold. A girdle, for Jesus never was ungirt while upon earth, but stood always ready for service, and now before the eternal throne He stays not is holy ministry, but as a priest is girt about with “the curious girdle of the ephod.” Well it is for us that He has not ceased to fulfil His offices of love for us, since this is one of our choicest safeguards that He ever liveth to make intercession for us. Jesus is never an idler; His garments are never loose as though His offices were ended; He diligently carries on the cause of His people. A golden girdle, to manifest the superiority of His service, the royalty of His person, the dignity of His state, the glory of His reward. No longer does He…
cry out of the dust, but He pleads with authority, a King as well as a
Priest. Safe enough is our cause in the hands of our enthroned
Melchisedek.
Our Lord presents all His people with an example. We must never unbind
our girdles. This is not the time for lying down at ease, it is the season of
service and warfare. We need to bind the girdle of truth more and more
tightly around our loins. It is a golden girdle, and so will be our richest
ornament, and we greatly need it, for a heart that is not well braced up
with the truth as it is in Jesus, and with the fidelity which is wrought of
the Spirit, will be easily entangled with the things of this life, and tripped
up by the snares of temptation. It is in vain that we possess the Scriptures
unless we bind them around us like a girdle, surrounding our entire nature,
keeping each part of our character in order, and giving compactness to our
whole man. If in heaven Jesus unbinds not the girdle, much less may we
upon earth. Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth.
