“So walk ye in Him.” — Colossians 2:6
If we have received Christ Himself in our inmost hearts, our new life will manifest its intimate acquaintance with Him by a walk of faith in Him. Walking implies action. Our religion is not to be confined to our closet; we must carry out into practical effect that which we believe. If a man walks in Christ, then he so acts as Christ would act; for Christ being in him, his hope, his love, his joy, his life, he is the reflex of the image of Jesus; and men say of that man, “He is like his Master; he lives like Jesus Christ.” Walking signifies progress. “So walk ye in Him”; proceed from grace to grace, run forward until you reach the uttermost degree of knowledge that a man can attain concerning our Beloved. Walking implies continuance. There must be a perpetual abiding in Christ. How many…
Christians think
that in the morning and evening they ought to come into the company of
Jesus, and may then give their hearts to the world all the day: but this is
poor living; we should always be with Him, treading in His steps and
doing His will. Walking also implies habit. When we speak of a man’s walk
and conversation, we mean his habits, the constant tenour of his life. Now,
if we sometimes enjoy Christ, and then forget Him; sometimes call Him
ours, and anon lose our hold, that is not a habit; we do not walk in Him.
We must keep to Him, cling to Him, never let Him go, but live and have
our being in Him. “As ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye
in Him”; persevere in the same way in which ye have begun, and, as at the
first Christ Jesus was the trust of your faith, the source of your life, the
principle of your action, and the joy of your spirit, so let Him be the same
till life’s end; the same when you walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, and enter into the joy and the rest which remain for the people of
God. O Holy Spirit, enable us to obey this heavenly precept.

“The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with My disciples?” — Mark 14:14
Jerusalem at the time of the passover was one great inn; each householder had invited his own friends, but no one had invited the Saviour, and He had no dwelling of His own. It was by His own supernatural power that He found Himself an upper room in which to keep the feast. It is so even to this day — Jesus is not received among the sons of men save only where by His supernatural power and grace He makes the heart anew. All doors are open enough to the prince of darkness, but Jesus must clear a way for Himself or lodge in the streets. It was through the mysterious power exerted by our Lord that the householder raised no question, but at once cheerfully and joyfully opened his guestchamber. Who he was, and what he was, we do not know, but he…
readily accepted the honour which the
Redeemer proposed to confer upon him. In like manner it is still
discovered who are the Lord’s chosen, and who are not; for when the
gospel comes to some, they fight against it, and will not have it, but where
men receive it, welcoming it, this is a sure indication that there is a secret
work going on in the soul, and that God has chosen them unto eternal life.
Are you willing, dear reader, to receive Christ? then there is no difficulty in
the way; Christ will be your guest; His own power is working with you,
making you willing. What an honour to entertain the Son of God! The
heaven of heavens cannot contain Him, and yet He condescends to find a
house within our hearts! We are not worthy that He should come under
our roof, but what an unutterable privilege when He condescends to enter!
for then He makes a feast, and causes us to feast with Him upon royal
dainties, we sit at a banquet where the viands are immortal, and give
immortality to those who feed thereon. Blessed among the sons of Adam
is he who entertains the angels’ Lord.

“As ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord.” — Colossians 2:6
The life of faith is represented as receiving — an act which implies the very opposite of anything like merit. It is simply the acceptance of a gift. As the earth drinks in the rain, as the sea receives the streams, as night accepts light from the stars, so we, giving nothing, partake freely of the grace of God. The saints are not, by nature, wells, or streams, they are but cisterns into which the living water flows; they are empty vessels into which God pours His salvation. The idea of receiving implies a sense of realization, making the matter a reality. One cannot very well receive a shadow; we receive that which is substantial: so is it in the life of faith, Christ becomes real to us. While we are without faith, Jesus is a mere name to us — a person who lived a long while ago, so long ago that His life is only a history to us now! By an act of faith Jesus becomes a real person in the consciousness of our heart. But receiving also means…
grasping or getting
possession of. The thing which I receive becomes my own: I appropriate
to myself that which is given. When I receive Jesus, He becomes my
Saviour, so mine that neither life nor death shall be able to rob me of Him.
All this is to receive Christ — to take Him as God’s free gift; to realize
Him in my heart, and to appropriate Him as mine.
Salvation may be described as the blind receiving sight, the deaf receiving
hearing, the dead receiving life; but we have not only received these
blessings, we have received CHRIST JESUS Himself. It is true that He
gave us life from the dead. He gave us pardon of sin; He gave us imputed
righteousness. These are all precious things, but we are not content with
them; we have received Christ Himself. The Son of God has been poured
into us, and we have received Him, and appropriated Him. What a heartful
Jesus must be, for heaven itself cannot contain Him!

“And ye shall be witnesses unto Me.” — Acts 1:8
In order to learn how to discharge your duty as a witness for Christ, look at His example. He is always witnessing: by the well of Samaria, or in the Temple of Jerusalem: by the lake of Gennesaret, or on the mountain’s brow. He is witnessing night and day; His mighty prayers are as vocal to God as His daily services. He witnesses under all circumstances; Scribes and Pharisees cannot shut His mouth; even before Pilate He witnesses a good confession. He witnesses so clearly, and distinctly that there is no mistake in Him. Christian, make your life a clear testimony. Be you as the brook wherein you may see every stone at the bottom — not as the muddy creek, of which you only see the surface — but clear and transparent, so that your heart’s love to God and man may be visible to all. You need not say, “I am true:” be true. Boast not of…
integrity, but be
upright. So shall your testimony be such that men cannot help seeing it.
Never, for fear of feeble man, restrain your witness. Your lips have been
warmed with a coal from off the altar; let them speak as like
heaven-touched lips should do. “In the morning sow thy seed, and in the
evening withhold not thine hand.” Watch not the clouds, consult not the
wind — in season and out of season witness for the Saviour, and if it shall
come to pass that for Christ’s sake and the gospel’s you shall endure
suffering in any shape, shrink not, but rejoice in the honour thus conferred
upon you, that you are counted worthy to suffer with your Lord; and joy
also in this — that your sufferings, your losses, and persecutions shall
make you a platform, from which the more vigorously and with greater
power you shall witness for Christ Jesus. Study your great Exemplar, and
be filled with His Spirit. Remember that you need much teaching, much
upholding, much grace, and much humility, if your witnessing is to be to
your Master’s glory.

“Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands.” — Isaiah 49:16
No doubt a part of the wonder which is concentrated in the word “Behold,” is excited by the unbelieving lamentation of the preceding sentence. Zion said, “The Lord hath forsaken me, and my God hath forgotten me.” How amazed the divine mind seems to be at this wicked unbelief! What can be more astounding than the unfounded doubts and fears of God’s favoured people? The Lord’s loving word of rebuke should make us blush; He cries, “How can I have forgotten thee, when I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands? How darest thou doubt my constant remembrance, when the memorial is set upon my very flesh?” O unbelief, how strange a marvel thou art! We know not which…
most to
wonder at, the faithfulness of God or the unbelief of His people. He keeps
His promise a thousand times, and yet the next trial makes us doubt Him.
He never faileth; He is never a dry well; He is never as a setting sun, a
passing meteor, or a melting vapour; and yet we are as continually vexed
with anxieties, molested with suspicions, and disturbed with fears, as if
our God were the mirage of the desert. “Behold,” is a word intended to
excite admiration. Here, indeed, we have a theme for marvelling. Heaven
and earth may well be astonished that rebels should obtain so great a
nearness to the heart of infinite love as to be written upon the palms of
His hands. “I have graven thee.”It does not say, “Thy name.” The name is
there, but that is not all: “I have graven thee.” See the fulness of this! I
have graven thy person, thine image, thy case, thy circumstances, thy sins,
thy temptations, thy weaknesses, thy wants, thy works; I have graven
thee, everything about thee, all that concerns thee; I have put thee
altogether there. Wilt thou ever say again that thy God hath forsaken thee
when He has graven thee upon His own palms?

“Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.” — Hebrews 9:20
There is a strange power about the very name of blood, and the sight of it is always affecting. A kind heart cannot bear to see a sparrow bleed, and unless familiarized by use, turns away with horror at the slaughter of a beast. As to the blood of men, it is a consecrated thing: it is murder to shed it in wrath, it is a dreadful crime to squander it in war. Is this solemnity occasioned by the fact that the blood is the life, and the pouring of it forth the token of death? We think so. When we rise to contemplate the blood of the Son of God, our awe is yet more increased, and we shudder as we think of the guilt of sin, and the terrible penalty which the Sin-bearer endured. Blood, always precious, is priceless when it streams from Immanuel’s side. The blood of Jesus…
seals the covenant of grace, and makes it for ever sure. Covenants of old were made by sacrifice, and the everlasting covenant was ratified in the same manner. Oh, the delight of being saved upon the sure foundation of divine engagements which cannot be dishonoured! Salvation by the works of the law is a frail and broken vessel whose shipwreck is sure; but the covenant vessel fears no storms, for the blood ensures the whole. The blood of Jesus made His testament valid. Wills are of no power unless the testators die. In this light the soldier’s spear is a blessed aid to faith, since it proved our Lord to be really dead. Doubts upon that matter there can be none, and we may boldly appropriate the legacies which He has left for His people. Happy they who see their title to heavenly blessings assured to them by a dying Saviour. But has this blood no voice to us? Does it not bid us sanctify ourselves unto Him by whom we have been redeemed? Does it not call us to newness of life, and incite us to entire consecration to the Lord? O that the power of the blood might be known, and felt in us this night!

“I will pour water upon him that is thirsty.” — Isaiah 44:3
When a believer has fallen into a low, sad state of feeling, he often tries to lift himself out of it by chastening himself with dark and doleful fears. Such is not the way to rise from the dust, but to continue in it. As well chain the eagle’s wing to make it mount, as doubt in order to increase our grace. It is not the law, but the gospel which saves the seeking soul at first; and it is not a legal bondage, but gospel liberty which can restore the fainting believer afterwards. Slavish fear brings not back the backslider to God, but the sweet wooings of love allure him to Jesus’ bosom. Are you this morning thirsting for the living God, and unhappy because you cannot find him to the delight of your heart? Have you…
lost the joy of religion, and
is this your prayer, “Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation”? Are you
conscious also that you are barren, like the dry ground; that you are not
bringing forth the fruit unto God which He has a right to expect of you;
that you are not so useful in the Church, or in the world, as your heart
desires to be? Then here is exactly the promise which you need, “I will
pour water upon him that is thirsty.” You shall receive the grace you so
much require, and you shall have it to the utmost reach of your needs.
Water refreshes the thirsty: you shall be refreshed; your desires shall be
gratified. Water quickens sleeping vegetable life: your life shall be
quickened by fresh grace. Water swells the buds and makes the fruits
ripen; you shall have fructifying grace: you shall be made fruitful in the
ways of God. Whatever good quality there is in divine grace, you shall
enjoy it to the full. All the riches of divine grace you shall receive in
plenty; you shall be as it were drenched with it: and as sometimes the
meadows become flooded by the bursting rivers, and the fields are turned
into pools, so shall you be — the thirsty land shall be springs of water.

“Be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.” — Psalm 100:4
Our Lord would have all His people rich in high and happy thoughts
concerning His blessed person. Jesus is not content that His brethren
should think meanly of Him; it is His pleasure that His espoused ones
should be delighted with His beauty. We are not to regard Him as a bare
necessary, like to bread and water, but as a luxurious delicacy, as a rare and
ravishing delight. To this end He has revealed Himself as the “pearl of
great price” in its peerless beauty, as the “bundle of myrrh” in its
refreshing fragrance, as the “rose of Sharon” in its lasting perfume, as the
“lily” in its spotless purity.
As a help to high thoughts of Christ, remember the estimation that Christ is had in beyond the skies, where things are measured by the right standard. Think how God…
esteems the Only Begotten, His unspeakable
gift to us. Consider what the angels think of Him, as they count it their
highest honour to veil their faces at His feet. Consider what the
blood-washed think of Him, as day without night they sing His well
deserved praises. High thoughts of Christ will enable us to act consistently
with our relations towards Him. The more loftily we see Christ enthroned,
and the more lowly we are when bowing before the foot of the throne, the
more truly shall we be prepared to act our part towards Him. Our Lord
Jesus desires us to think well of Him, that we may submit cheerfully to
His authority. High thoughts of Him increase our love. Love and esteem go
together. Therefore, believer, think much of your Master’s excellencies.
Study Him in His primeval glory, before He took upon Himself your
nature! Think of the mighty love which drew Him from His throne to die
upon the cross! Admire Him as He conquers all the powers of hell! See
Him risen, crowned, glorified! Bow before Him as the Wonderful, the
Counsellor, the mighty God, for only thus will your love to Him be what
it should.

“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper.” — Isaiah 54:17
This day is notable in English history for two great deliverances wrought
by God for us. On this day the plot of the Papists to destroy our Houses
of Parliament was discovered, 1605.
“While for our princes they prepare
In caverns deep a burning snare,
He shot from heaven a piercing ray,
And the dark treachery brought to day.”
And secondly — to-day is the anniversary of the landing of King William
III, at Torbay, by which the hope of Popish ascendancy was quashed, and
religious liberty was secured, 1688.
This day ought to be celebrated, not by the saturnalia of striplings, but by the songs of saints. Our Puritan forefathers most devoutly…
made it a special time of thanksgiving. There is extant a record of the annual sermons preached by Matthew Henry on this day. Our Protestant feeling, and our love of liberty, should make us regard its anniversary with holy gratitude. Let our hearts and lips exclaim, “We have heard with our ears, and our fathers have told us the wondrous things which Thou didst in their day, and in the old time before them.” Thou hast made this nation the home of the gospel; and when the foe has risen against her, Thou hast shielded her. Help us to offer repeated songs for repeated deliverances. Grant us more and more a hatred of Antichrist, and hasten on the day of her entire extinction. Till then and ever, we believe the promise, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper.” Should it not be laid upon the heart of every lover of the gospel of Jesus on this day to plead for the overturning of false doctrines and the extension of divine truth? Would it not be well to search our own hearts, and turn out any of the Popish lumber of self-righteousness which may lie concealed therein?

“In Thy light shall we see light.” — Psalm 36:9
No lips can tell the love of Christ to the heart till Jesus Himself shall speak within. Descriptions all fall flat and tame unless the Holy Ghost fills them with life and power; till our Immanuel reveals Himself within, the soul sees Him not. If you would see the sun, would you gather together the common means of illumination, and seek in that way to behold the orb of day? No, the wise man knoweth that the sun must reveal itself, and only by its own blaze can that mighty lamp be seen. It is so with Christ. “Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona:” said He to Peter, “for flesh and blood hath not revealed this unto thee.” Purify flesh and blood by any educational process you may select, elevate mental faculties to the highest degree of intellectual power, yet none of these can reveal Christ. The Spirit of God must…
come
with power, and overshadow the man with His wings, and then in that
mystic holy of holies the Lord Jesus must display Himself to the
sanctified eye, as He doth not unto the purblind sons of men. Christ must
be His own mirror. The great mass of this blear-eyed world can see nothing
of the ineffable glories of Immanuel. He stands before them without form
or comeliness, a root out of a dry ground, rejected by the vain and despised
by the proud. Only where the Spirit has touched the eye with eye-salve,
quickened the heart with divine life, and educated the soul to a heavenly
taste, only there is He understood. “To you that believe He is precious”;
to you He is the chief corner-stone, the Rock of your salvation, your all in
all; but to others He is “a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence.”
Happy are those to whom our Lord manifests Himself, for His promise to
such is that He will make His abode with them. O Jesus, our Lord, our
heart is open, come in, and go out no more for ever. Show Thyself to us
now! Favour us with a glimpse of Thine all-conquering charms.
