“Blessed is he that watcheth.” — Revelation 16:15
“We die daily,” said the apostle. This was the life of the early Christians; they went everywhere with their lives in their hands. We are not in this day called to pass through the same fearful persecutions: if we were, the Lord would give us grace to bear the test; but the tests of Christian life, at the present moment, though outwardly not so terrible, are yet more likely to overcome us than even those of the fiery age. We have to bear the sneer of the world — that is little; its blandishments, its soft words, its oily speeches, its fawning, its hypocrisy, are far worse. Our danger is lest we grow rich and become proud, lest we give ourselves up to the fashions of this present evil world, and lose our faith. Or if wealth be not the trial, worldly care is quite as mischievous. If we cannot be…
torn in pieces by the
roaring lion, if we may be hugged to death by the bear, the devil little cares
which it is, so long as he destroys our love to Christ, and our confidence in
Him. I fear me that the Christian church is far more likely to lose her
integrity in these soft and silken days than in those rougher times. We
must be awake now, for we traverse the enchanted ground, and are most
likely to fall asleep to our own undoing, unless our faith in Jesus be a
reality, and our love to Jesus a vehement flame. Many in these days of
easy profession are likely to prove tares, and not wheat; hypocrites with
fair masks on their faces, but not the true-born children of the living God.
Christian, do not think that these are times in which you can dispense with
watchfulness or with holy ardour; you need these things more than ever,
and may God the eternal Spirit display His omnipotence in you, that you
may be able to say, in all these softer things, as well as in the rougher, “We
are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.”

“This do in remembrance of Me.” — 1 Corinthians 11:24
It seems then, that Christians may forget Christ! There could be no need for this loving exhortation, if there were not a fearful supposition that our memories might prove treacherous. Nor is this a bare supposition: it is, alas! too well confirmed in our experience, not as a possibility, but as a lamentable fact. It appears almost impossible that those who have been redeemed by the blood of the dying Lamb, and loved with an everlasting love by the eternal Son of God, should forget that gracious Saviour; but, if startling to the ear, it is, alas! too apparent to the eye to allow us to deny the crime. Forget Him who never forgot us! Forget Him who poured His blood forth for our sins! Forget Him who loved us even to the death! Can it be possible?…
Yes, it is not only possible, but conscience confesses that it
is too sadly a fault with all of us, that we suffer Him to be as a wayfaring
man tarrying but for a night. He whom we should make the abiding tenant
of our memories is but a visitor therein. The cross where one would think
that memory would linger, and unmindfulness would be an unknown
intruder, is desecrated by the feet of forgetfulness. Does not your
conscience say that this is true? Do you not find yourselves forgetful of
Jesus? Some creature steals away your heart, and you are unmindful of
Him upon whom your affection ought to be set. Some earthly business
engrosses your attention when you should fix your eye steadily upon the
cross. It is the incessant turmoil of the world, the constant attraction of
earthly things which takes away the soul from Christ. While memory too
well preserves a poisonous weed, it suffereth the rose of Sharon to wither.
Let us charge ourselves to bind a heavenly forget-me-not about our hearts
for Jesus our Beloved, and, whatever else we let slip, let us hold fast to
Him.

“If any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him.” — Revelation 3:20
What is your desire this evening? Is it set upon heavenly things? Do you long to enjoy the high doctrine of eternal love? Do you desire liberty in very close communion with God? Do you aspire to know the heights, and depths, and lengths, and breadths? Then you must draw ear to Jesus; you must get a clear sight of Him in His preciousness and completeness: you must view Him in His work, in His offices, in His person. He who understands Christ, receives an anointing from the Holy One, by which He knows all things. Christ is the great master-key of all the chambers of God: there is no treasure-house of God which will not open and yield up all its wealth to the soul that lives near to Jesus. Are you saying, “O that He would dwell in my bosom “Would that He would make my heart His dwelling-place for ever”? Open the door, beloved, and He will…
come into
your souls. He has long been knocking, and all with this object, that He
may sup with you, and you with Him. He sups with you because you find
the house or the heart, and you with Him because He brings the provision.
He could not sup with you if it were not in your heart, you finding the
house; nor could you sup with Him, for you have a bare cupboard, if He
did not bring provision with Him. Fling wide, then, the portals of your
soul. He will come with that love which you long to feel; He will come
with that joy into which you cannot work your poor depressed spirit; He
will bring the peace which now you have not; He will come with His
flagons of wine and sweet apples of love, and cheer you till you have no
other sickness but that of “love o’erpowering, love divine.” Only open the
door to Him, drive out His enemies, give Him the keys of your heart, and
He will dwell there for ever. Oh, wondrous love, that brings such a guest to
dwell in such a heart!

“Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away.” — Song of Solomon 2:10
Lo, I hear the voice of my Beloved! He speaks to me! Fair weather is smiling upon the face of the earth, and He would not have me spiritually asleep while nature is all around me awaking from her winter’s rest. He bids me “Rise up,” and well He may, for I have long enough been lying among the pots of worldliness. He is risen, I am risen in Him, why then should I cleave unto the dust? From lower loves, desires, pursuits, and aspirations, I would rise towards Him. He calls me by the sweet title of “My love,” and counts me fair; this is a good argument for my rising. If He has thus exalted me, and thinks me thus comely, how can I linger in the tents of Kedar and find congenial associates among the sons of men? He bids me “Come away.” Further and further from everything selfish, grovelling, worldly, sinful, He calls me; yea, from the outwardly religious world which knows Him not, and has no sympathy with…
the mystery of
the higher life, He calls me. “Come away” has no harsh sound in it to my
ear, for what is there to hold me in this wilderness of vanity and sin? O my
Lord, would that I could come away, but I am taken among the thorns, and
cannot escape from them as I would. I would, if it were possible, have
neither eyes, nor ears, nor heart for sin. Thou callest me to Thyself by
saying “Come away,” and this is a melodious call indeed. To come to Thee
is to come home from exile, to come to land out of the raging storm, to
come to rest after long labour, to come to the goal of my desires and the
summit of my wishes. But Lord, how can a stone rise, how can a lump of
clay come away from the horrible pit? O raise me, draw me. Thy grace can
do it. Send forth Thy Holy Spirit to kindle sacred flames of love in my
heart, and I will continue to rise until I leave life and time behind me, and
indeed come away.

“The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.” — Song of Solomon 2:12
Sweet is the season of spring: the long and dreary winter helps us to appreciate its genial warmth, and its promise of summer enhances its present delights. After periods of depression of spirit, it is delightful to behold again the light of the Sun of Righteousness; then our slumbering graces rise from their lethargy, like the crocus and the daffodil from their beds of earth; then is our heart made merry with delicious notes of gratitude, far more melodious than the warbling of birds — and the comforting assurance of peace, infinitely more delightful than the turtle’s note, is heard within the soul. Now is the time for…
the soul to seek
communion with her Beloved; now must she rise from her native
sordidness, and come away from her old associations. If we do not hoist
the sail when the breeze is favourable, we shall be blameworthy: times of
refreshing ought not to pass over us unimproved. When Jesus Himself
visits us in tenderness, and entreats us to arise, can we be so base as to
refuse His request? He has Himself risen that He may draw us after Him:
He now by His Holy Spirit has revived us, that we may, in newness of
life, ascend into the heavenlies, and hold communion with Himself. Let our
wintry state suffice us for coldness and indifference; when the Lord creates
a spring within, let our sap flow with vigour, and our branch blossom with
high resolve. O Lord, if it be not spring time in my chilly heart, I pray
Thee make it so, for I am heartily weary of living at a distance from Thee.
Oh! the long and dreary winter, when wilt Thou bring it to an end? Come,
Holy Spirit, and renew my soul! quicken Thou me! restore me, and have
mercy on me! This very night I would earnestly implore the Lord to take
pity upon His servant, and send me a happy revival of spiritual life!

“And because of all this we make a sure covenant.” — Nehemiah 9:38
There are many occasions in our experience when we may very rightly, and with benefit, renew our covenant with God. After recovery from sickness when, like Hezekiah, we have had a new term of years added to our life, we may fitly do it. After any deliverance from trouble, when our joys bud forth anew, let us again visit the foot of the cross, and renew our consecration. Especially, let us do this after any sin which has grieved the Holy Spirit, or brought dishonour upon the cause of God; let us then look to that blood which can make us whiter than snow, and again offer ourselves unto the Lord. We should not only let our troubles confirm our dedication to God, but our…
prosperity should do the same. If we ever meet
with occasions which deserve to be called “crowning mercies” then, surely,
if He hath crowned us, we ought also to crown our God; let us bring forth
anew all the jewels of the divine regalia which have been stored in the
jewel-closet of our heart, and let our God sit upon the throne of our love,
arrayed in royal apparel. If we would learn to profit by our prosperity, we
should not need so much adversity. If we would gather from a kiss all the
good it might confer upon us, we should not so often smart under the rod.
Have we lately received some blessing which we little expected? Has the
Lord put our feet in a large room? Can we sing of mercies multiplied? Then
this is the day to put our hand upon the horns of the altar, and say, “Bind
me here, my God; bind me here with cords, even for ever.” Inasmuch as we
need the fulfillment of new promises from God, let us offer renewed
prayers that our old vows may not be dishonoured. Let us this morning
make with Him a sure covenant, because of the pains of Jesus which for
the last month we have been considering with gratitude.

“Lo, in the midst of the throne… stood a Lamb as it had been slain.” — Revelation 5:6
Why should our exalted Lord appear in His wounds in glory? The wounds of Jesus are His glories, His jewels, His sacred ornaments. To the eye of the believer, Jesus is passing fair because He is “white and ruddy” white with innocence, and ruddy with His own blood. We see Him as the lily of matchless purity, and as the rose crimsoned with His own gore. Christ is lovely upon Olivet and Tabor, and by the sea, but oh! there never was such a matchless Christ as He that did hang upon the cross. There we beheld all His beauties in perfection, all His attributes developed, all His love drawn out, all His character expressed. Beloved, the wounds of Jesus are far more fair in our eyes than all the splendour and pomp of kings. The thorny crown is more than an imperial diadem. It is true that…
He bears not
now the sceptre of reed, but there was a glory in it that never flashed from
sceptre of gold. Jesus wears the appearance of a slain Lamb as His court
dress in which He wooed our souls, and redeemed them by His complete
atonement. Nor are these only the ornaments of Christ: they are the
trophies of His love and of His victory. He has divided the spoil with the
strong. He has redeemed for Himself a great multitude whom no man can
number, and these scars are the memorials of the fight. Ah! if Christ thus
loves to retain the thought of His sufferings for His people, how precious
should his wounds be to us!
“Behold how every wound of His
A precious balm distils,
Which heals the scars that sin had made,
And cures all mortal ills.
“Those wounds are mouths that preach His grace; The ensigns of His love;
The seals of our expected bliss
In paradise above.”

“Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.” — Romans 8:37
We go to Christ for forgiveness, and then too often look to the law for power to fight our sins. Paul thus rebukes us, “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” Take your sins to Christ’s cross, for the old man can only be crucified there: we are crucified with Him. The only weapon to fight sin with is the spear which pierced the side of Jesus. To give an illustration — you want to overcome an angry temper, how do you go to work? It is very possible you have never…
tried the right way of going
to Jesus with it. How did I get salvation? I came to Jesus just as I was, and
I trusted Him to save me. I must kill my angry temper in the same way? It
is the only way in which I can ever kill it. I must go to the cross with it,
and say to Jesus, “Lord, I trust Thee to deliver me from it.” This is the
only way to give it a death-blow. Are you covetous? Do you feel the
world entangle you? You may struggle against this evil so long as you
please, but if it be your besetting sin, you will never be delivered from it in
any way but by the blood of Jesus. Take it to Christ. Tell Him, “Lord, I
have trusted Thee, and Thy name is Jesus, for Thou dost save Thy people
from their sins; Lord, this is one of my sins; save me from it!” Ordinances
are nothing without Christ as a means of mortification. Your prayers, and
your repentances, and your tears — the whole of them put together — are
worth nothing apart from Him. “None but Jesus can do helpless sinners
good;” or helpless saints either. You must be conquerors through Him who
hath loved you, if conquerors at all. Our laurels must grow among His
olives in Gethsemane.

“Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night.” — Psalm 91:5
What is this terror? It may be the cry of fire, or the noise of thieves, or fancied appearances, or the shriek of sudden sickness or death. We live in the world of death and sorrow, we may therefore look for ills as well in the night-watches as beneath the glare of he broiling sun. Nor should this alarm us, for be the terror what it may, the promise is that the believer shall not be afraid. Why should he? Let us put it more closely, why should we? God our Father is here, and will be here all through the lonely hours; He is an almighty Watcher, a sleepless Guardian, a faithful Friend. Nothing can happen without His direction, for even hell itself is under His control. Darkness is not dark to Him. He has promised to…
be a wall of fire around His people — and who can break through such a barrier? Worldlings may well be afraid, for they have an angry God above them, a guilty conscience within them, and a yawning hell beneath them; but we who rest in Jesus are saved from all these through rich mercy. If we give way to foolish fear we shall dishonour our profession, and lead others to doubt the reality of godliness. We ought to be afraid of being afraid, lest we should vex the Holy Spirit by foolish distrust. Down, then, ye dismal forebodings and groundless apprehensions, God has not forgotten to be gracious, nor shut up His tender mercies, it may be night in the soul, but there need be no terror, for the God of love changes not. Children of light may walk in darkness, but they are not therefore cast away, nay, they are now enabled to prove their adoption by trusting in their heavenly Father as hypocrites cannot do.
“Though the night be dark and dreary, darkness cannot hide from Thee; Thou art He, who, never weary, watchest where Thy people be.”

“Him hath God exalted.” — Acts 5:31
Jesus, our Lord, once crucified, dead and buried, now sits upon the throne of glory. The highest place that heaven affords is His by undisputed right. It is sweet to remember that the exaltation of Christ in heaven is a representative exaltation. He is exalted at the Father’s right hand, and though as Jehovah He had eminent glories, in which finite creatures cannot share, yet as the Mediator, the honours which Jesus wears in heaven are the heritage of all the saints. It is delightful to reflect how close is Christ’s union with His people. We are actually one with Him; we are members of His body; and His exaltation is our exaltation. He will give us to sit upon His throne, even as He has overcome, and is set down with His Father on His throne; He has a crown, and He gives us crowns too; He has a throne, but He is not content with…
having a throne to Himself, on His right hand
there must be His queen, arrayed in “gold of Ophir.” He cannot be glorified
without His bride. Look up, believer, to Jesus now; let the eye of your
faith behold Him with many crowns upon His head; and remember that
you will one day be like Him, when you shall see Him as He is; you shall
not be so great as He is, you shall not be so divine, but still you shall, in a
measure, share the same honours, and enjoy the same happiness and the
same dignity which He possesses. Be content to live unknown for a little
while, and to walk your weary way through the fields of poverty, or up
the hills of affliction; for by-and-by you shall reign with Christ, for He has
“made us kings and priests unto God, and we shall reign for ever and ever.”
Oh!, wonderful thought for the children of God! We have Christ for our
glorious representative in heaven’s courts now, and soon He will come and
receive us to Himself, to be with Him there, to behold His glory, and to
share His joy.
