“O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face… because we have sinned against Thee.” — Daniel 9:8
A deep sense and clear sight of sin, its heinousness, and the punishment which it deserves, should make us lie low before the throne. We have sinned as Christians. Alas! that it should be so. Favoured as we have been, we have yet been ungrateful: privileged beyond most, we have not brought forth fruit in proportion. Who is there, although he may long have been engaged in the Christian warfare, that will not blush when he looks back upon the past? As for our days before we were regenerated, may they be forgiven and forgotten; but since then, though we have not sinned as before, yet we have sinned against light and against love — light which has really penetrated our minds, and love in which we have rejoiced. Oh, the atrocity of the sin of a pardoned soul! An unpardoned sinner sins…
cheaply
compared with the sin of one of God’s own elect ones, who has had
communion with Christ and leaned his head upon Jesus’ bosom. Look at
David! Many will talk of his sin, but I pray you look at his repentance,
and hear his broken bones, as each one of them moans out its dolorous
confession! Mark his tears, as they fall upon the ground, and the deep
sighs with which he accompanies the softened music of his harp! We have
erred: let us, therefore, seek the spirit of penitence. Look, again, at Peter!
We speak much of Peter’s denying his Master. Remember, it is written,
“He wept bitterly.” Have we no denials of our Lord to be lamented with
tears? Alas! these sins of ours, before and after conversion, would consign
us to the place of inextinguishable fire if it were not for the sovereign
mercy which has made us to differ, snatching us like brands from the
burning. My soul, bow down under a sense of thy natural sinfulness, and
worship thy God. Admire the grace which saves thee — the mercy which
spares thee — the love which pardons thee!

“Delight thyself also in the Lord.” — Psalm 37:4
The teaching of these words must seem very surprising to those who are strangers to vital godliness, but to the sincere believer it is only the inculcation of a recognized truth. The life of the believer is here described as a delight in God, and we are thus certified of the great fact that true religion overflows with happiness and joy. Ungodly persons and mere professors never look upon religion as a joyful thing; to them it is service, duty, or necessity, but never pleasure or delight. If they attend to religion at all, it is either that they may gain thereby, or else because they dare not do otherwise. The thought of delight in religion is so strange to most men, that no two words in their language stand further apart than “holiness” and “delight.” But believers who…
know Christ, understand that delight and faith
are so blessedly united, that the gates of hell cannot prevail to separate
them. They who love God with all their hearts, find that His ways are
ways of pleasantness, and all His paths are peace. Such joys, such brimful
delights, such overflowing blessednesses, do the saints discover in their
Lord, that so far from serving Him from custom, they would follow Him
though all the world cast out His name as evil. We fear not God because of
any compulsion; our faith is no fetter, our profession is no bondage, we are
not dragged to holiness, nor driven to duty. No, our piety is our pleasure,
our hope is our happiness, our duty is our delight.
Delight and true religion are as allied as root and flower; as indivisible as
truth and certainty; they are, in fact, two precious jewels glittering side by
side in a setting of gold.
“‘Tis when we taste Thy love,
Our joys divinely grow,
Unspeakable like those above,
And heaven begins below.”

“Remove far from me vanity and lies.” — Proverbs 30:8
“O my God, be not far from me.” Psalm 38:21. Here we have two great lessons — what to deprecate and what to supplicate. The happiest state of a Christian is the holiest state. As there is the most heat nearest to the sun, so there is the most happiness nearest to Christ. No Christian enjoys comfort when his eyes are fixed on vanity — he finds no satisfaction unless his soul is quickened in the ways of God. The world may win happiness elsewhere, but he cannot. I do not blame ungodly men for rushing to their pleasures. Why should I? Let them have their fill. That is all they have to enjoy. A converted wife who despaired of her husband was always very kind to him, for she said, “I fear that this is the only world in which…
he will be happy, and therefore I have made up my mind to
make him as happy as I can in it.” Christians must seek their delights in a
higher sphere than the insipid frivolities or sinful enjoyments of the world.
Vain pursuits are dangerous to renewed souls. We have heard of a
philosopher who, while he looked up to the stars, fell into a pit; but how
deeply do they fall who look down. Their fall is fatal. No Christian is safe
when his soul is slothful, and his God is far from him. Every Christian is
always safe as to the great matter of his standing in Christ, but he is not
safe as regards his experience in holiness, and communion with Jesus in
this life. Satan does not often attack a Christian who is living near to God.
It is when the Christian departs from his God, becomes spiritually starved,
and endeavours to feed on vanities, that the devil discovers his vantage
hour. He may sometimes stand foot to foot with the child of God who is
active in his Master’s service, but the battle is generally short: he who
slips as he goes down into the Valley of Humiliation, every time he takes a
false step invites Apollyon to assail him. O for grace to walk humbly with
our God!

“Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” — Revelation 22:17
Jesus says, “take freely.” He wants no payment or preparation. He seeks no recommendation from our virtuous emotions. If you have no good feelings, if you be but willing, you are invited; therefore come! You have no belief and no repentance, — come to Him, and He will give them to you. Come just as you are, and take “Freely,” without money and without price. He gives Himself to needy ones. The drinking fountains at the corners of our streets are valuable institutions; and we can hardly imagine any one so foolish as to feel for his purse, when he stands before one of them, and to cry, “I cannot drink because I have not five pounds in my pocket.” However…
poor the man is, there is the fountain, and just as he is
he may drink of it. Thirsty passengers, as they go by, whether they are
dressed in fustian or in broadcloth, do not look for any warrant for
drinking; its being there is their warrant for taking its water freely. The
liberality of some good friends has put the refreshing crystal there and we
take it, and ask no questions. Perhaps the only persons who need go
thirsty through the street where there is a drinking fountain, are the fine
ladies and gentlemen who are in their carriages. They are very thirsty, but
cannot think of being so vulgar as to get out to drink. It would demean
them, they think, to drink at a common drinking fountain: so they ride by
with parched lips. Oh, how many there are who are rich in their own good
works and cannot therefore come to Christ! “I will not be saved,” they
say, “in the same way as the harlot or the swearer.” What! go to heaven in
the same way as a chimney sweep. Is there no pathway to glory but the
path which led the thief there? I will not be saved that way. Such proud
boasters must remain without the living water; but,
“WHOSOEVER WILL, LET HIM TAKE THE
WATER OF LIFE FREELY.”

“Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling.” — 2 Timothy 1:9
The apostle uses the perfect tense and says, “Who hath saved us.” Believers in Christ Jesus are saved. They are not looked upon as persons who are in a hopeful state, and may ultimately be saved, but they are already saved. Salvation is not a blessing to be enjoyed upon the dying bed, and to be sung of in a future state above, but a matter to be obtained, received, promised, and enjoyed now. The Christian is perfectly saved in God’s purpose; God has ordained him unto salvation, and that purpose is complete. He is saved also as to the price which has been paid for him: “It is finished” was the cry of the Saviour ere He died. The believer is also perfectly saved in His covenant head, for as he…
fell in Adam, so he lives in
Christ. This complete salvation is accompanied by a holy calling. Those
whom the Saviour saved upon the cross are in due time effectually called
by the power of God the Holy Spirit unto holiness: they leave their sins;
they endeavour to be like Christ; they choose holiness, not out of any
compulsion, but from the stress of a new nature, which leads them to
rejoice in holiness just as naturally as aforetime they delighted in sin. God
neither chose them nor called them because they were holy, but He called
them that they might be holy, and holiness is the beauty produced by His
workmanship in them. The excellencies which we see in a believer are as
much the work of God as the atonement itself. Thus is brought out very
sweetly the fulness of the grace of God. Salvation must be of grace,
because the Lord is the author of it: and what motive but grace could move
Him to save the guilty? Salvation must be of grace, because the Lord works
in such a manner that our righteousness is for ever excluded. Such is the
believer’s privilege — a present salvation; such is the evidence that he is
called to it — a holy life.

“Thou art weighed in the balances and art found wanting.” — Daniel 5:27
It is well frequently to weigh ourselves in the scale of God’s Word. You will find it a holy exercise to read some psalm of David, and, as you meditate upon each verse, to ask yourself, “Can I say this? Have I felt as David felt? Has my heart ever been broken on account of sin, as his was when he penned his penitential psalms? Has my soul been full of true confidence in the hour of difficulty as his was when he sang of God’s mercies in the cave of Adullam, or in the holds of Engedi? Do I take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord?” Then turn to the life of Christ, and as you read, ask yourselves how far you are conformed to His likeness. Endeavour to discover whether you have the…
meekness, the
humility, the lovely spirit which He constantly inculcated and displayed.
Take, then, the epistles, and see whether you can go with the apostle in
what he said of his experience. Have you ever cried out as he did — ”O
wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this
death”? Have you ever felt his self-abasement? Have you seemed to
yourself the chief of sinners, and less than the least of all saints? Have you
known anything of his devotion? Could you join with him and say, “For
me to live is Christ, and to die is gain”? If we thus read God’s Word as a
test of our spiritual condition, we shall have good reason to stop many a
time and say, “Lord, I feel I have never yet been here, O bring me here!
give me true penitence, such as this I read of. Give me real faith; give me
warmer zeal; inflame me with more fervent love; grant me the grace of
meekness; make me more like Jesus. Let me no longer be ‘found wanting,’
when weighed in the balances of the sanctuary, lest I be found wanting in
the scales of judgment.” “Judge yourselves that ye be not judged.”

“There brake He the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle.” — Psalm 76:3
Our Redeemer’s glorious cry of “It is finished,” was the death-knell of all the adversaries of His people, the breaking of “the and the battle.” Behold the hero of Golgotha using His cross as an anvil, and His woes as a hammer, dashing to shivers bundle after bundle of our sins, those poisoned “arrows of the bow”; trampling on every indictment, and destroying every accusation. What glorious blows the mighty Breaker gives with a hammer far more ponderous than the fabled weapon of Thor! How the diabolical darts fly to fragments, and the infernal bucklers are broken like potters’ vessels! Behold, He draws from its sheath of hellish workmanship the dread sword of Satanic power! He snaps it across His knee, as a man breaks the dry wood of a fagot, and casts it into the fire. Beloved, no sin of a believer can now be…
an arrow mortally to wound him, no condemnation
can now be a sword to kill him, for the punishment of our sin was borne
by Christ, a full atonement was made for all our iniquities by our blessed
Substitute and Surety. Who now accuseth? Who now condemneth? Christ
hath died, yea rather, hath risen again. Jesus has emptied the quivers of
hell, has quenched every fiery dart, and broken off the head of every arrow
of wrath; the ground is strewn with the splinters and relics of the weapons
of hell’s warfare, which are only visible to us to remind us of our former
danger, and of our great deliverance. Sin hath no more dominion over us.
Jesus has made an end of it, and put it away for ever. O thou enemy,
destructions are come to a perpetual end. Talk ye of all the wondrous
works of the Lord, ye who make mention of His name, keep not silence,
neither by day, nor when the sun goeth to his rest. Bless the Lord, O my
soul.

“We love Him because He first loved us.” — 1 John 4:19
There is no light in the planet but that which proceedeth from the sun; and there is no true love to Jesus in the heart but that which cometh from the Lord Jesus himself. From this overflowing fountain of the infinite love of God, all our love to God must spring. This must ever be a great and certain truth, that we love Him for no other reason than because He first loved us. Our love to Him is the fair offspring of His love to us. Cold admiration, when studying the works of God, anyone may have, but the warmth of love can only be kindled in the heart by God’s Spirit. How great the wonder that such as we should ever have been brought to love Jesus at all! How marvellous that when we had rebelled against Him, He should, by a display of such amazing love, seek to…
draw us back. No! never should we
have had a grain of love towards God unless it had been sown in us by the
sweet seed of His love to us. Love, then, has for its parent the love of God
shed abroad in the heart: but after it is thus divinely born, it must be
divinely nourished. Love is an exotic; it is not a plant which will flourish
naturally in human soil, it must be watered from above. Love to Jesus is a
flower of a delicate nature, and if it received no nourishment but that which
could be drawn from the rock of our hearts it would soon wither. As love
comes from heaven, so it must feed on heavenly bread. It cannot exist in
the wilderness unless it be fed by manna from on high. Love must feed on
love. The very soul and life of our love to God is His love to us.
“I love thee, Lord, but with no love of mine,
For I have none to give;
I love thee, Lord; but all the love is thine,
For by thy love I live.
I am as nothing, and rejoice to be
Emptied, and lost, and swallowed up in thee.”

“They are they which testify of Me.” — John 5:39
Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega of the Bible. He is the constant theme of its sacred pages; from first to last they testify of Him. At the creation we at once discern Him as one of the sacred Trinity; we catch a glimpse of Him in the promise of the woman’s seed; we see Him typified in the ark of Noah; we walk with Abraham, as He sees Messiah’s day; we dwell in the tents of Isaac and Jacob, feeding upon the gracious promise; we hear the venerable Israel talking of Shiloh; and in the numerous types of the law, we find the Redeemer abundantly foreshadowed. Prophets and kings, priests and preachers, all look one way — they all stand as the…
cherubs did over the ark, desiring to look within, and to read the mystery
of God’s great propitiation. Still more manifestly in the New Testament
we find our Lord the one pervading subject. It is not an ingot here and
there, or dust of gold thinly scattered, but here you stand upon a solid
floor of gold; for the whole substance of the New Testament is Jesus
crucified, and even its closing sentence is bejewelled with the Redeemer’s
name. We should always read Scripture in this light; we should consider
the word to be as a mirror into which Christ looks down from heaven; and
then we, looking into it, see His face reflected as in a glass — darkly, it is
true, but still in such a way as to be a blessed preparation for seeing Him
as we shall see Him face to face. This volume contains Jesus Christ’s
letters to us, perfumed by His love. These pages are the garments of our
King, and they all smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia. Scripture is the
royal chariot in which Jesus rides, and it is paved with love for the
daughters of Jerusalem. The Scriptures are the swaddling bands of the holy
child Jesus; unroll them and you find your Saviour. The quintessence of
the word of God is Christ.

“We live unto the Lord.” — Romans 14:8
If God had willed it, each of us might have entered heaven at the moment of conversion. It was not absolutely necessary for our preparation for immortality that we should tarry here. It is possible for a man to be taken to heaven, and to be found meet to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light, though he has but just believed in Jesus. It is true that our sanctification is a long and continued process, and we shall not be perfected till we lay aside our bodies and enter within the veil; but nevertheless, had the Lord so willed it, He might have changed us from imperfection to perfection, and have taken us to heaven at once. Why then are we here? Would God keep His children out of paradise a single moment longer than was necessary? Why is the…
army of the living God still on the
battle-field when one charge might give them the victory? Why are His
children still wandering hither and thither through a maze, when a solitary
word from His lips would bring them into the centre of their hopes in
heaven? The answer is — they are here that they may “live unto the
Lord,” and may bring others to know His love. We remain on earth as
sowers to scatter good seed; as ploughmen to break up the fallow ground;
as heralds publishing salvation. We are here as the “salt of the earth,” to be
a blessing to the world. We are here to glorify Christ in our daily life. We
are here as workers for Him, and as “workers together with Him.” Let us
see that our life answereth its end. Let us live earnest, useful, holy lives, to
“the praise of the glory of His grace.” Meanwhile we long to be with Him,
and daily sing —
“My heart is with Him on His throne,
And ill can brook delay;
Each moment listening for the voice,
‘Rise up, and come away.’”
