“The people, when they beheld Him, were greatly amazed, and running to Him saluted Him.” — Mark 9:15
How great the difference between Moses and Jesus! When the prophet of Horeb had been forty days upon the mountain, he underwent a kind of transfiguration, so that his countenance shone with exceeding brightness, and he put a veil over his face, for the people could not endure to look upon his glory. Not so our Saviour. He had been transfigured with a greater glory than that of Moses, and yet, it is not written that the people were blinded by the blaze of His countenance, but rather they were amazed, and running to Him they saluted Him. The glory of the law repels, but the greater glory of Jesus attracts. Though Jesus is holy and just, yet…
blended
with His purity there is so much of truth and grace, that sinners run to
Him amazed at His goodness, fascinated by His love; they salute Him,
become His disciples, and take Him to be their Lord and Master. Reader, it
may be that just now you are blinded by the dazzling brightness of the law
of God. You feel its claims on your conscience, but you cannot keep it in
your life. Not that you find fault with the law, on the contrary, it
commands your profoundest esteem, still you are in nowise drawn by it to
God; you are rather hardened in heart, and are verging towards desperation.
Ah, poor heart! turn thine eye from Moses, with all his repelling
splendour, and look to Jesus, resplendent with milder glories. Behold His
flowing wounds and thorn-crowned head! He is the Son of God, and
therein He is greater than Moses, but He is the Lord of love, and therein
more tender than the lawgiver. He bore the wrath of God, and in His death
revealed more of God’s justice than Sinai on a blaze, but that justice is now
vindicated, and henceforth it is the guardian of believers in Jesus. Look,
sinner, to the bleeding Saviour, and as thou feelest the attraction of His
love, fly to His arms, and thou shalt be saved.

“He hath commanded His covenant for ever.” — Psalms 111:9
The Lord’s people delight in the covenant itself. It is an unfailing source of consolation to them so often as the Holy Spirit leads them into its banqueting house and waves its banner of love. They delight to contemplate the antiquity of that covenant, remembering that before the day-star knew its place, or planets ran their round, the interests of the saints were made secure in Christ Jesus. It is peculiarly pleasing to them to remember the sureness of the covenant, while meditating upon “the sure mercies of David.” They delight to celebrate it as “signed, and sealed, and ratified, in all things ordered well.” It often makes their hearts dilate with joy to think of its immutability, as a covenant which neither…
time nor
eternity, life nor death, shall ever be able to violate — a covenant as old as
eternity and as everlasting as the Rock of ages. They rejoice also to feast
upon the fulness of this covenant, for they see in it all things provided for
them. God is their portion, Christ their companion, the Spirit their
Comforter, earth their lodge, and heaven their home. They see in it an
inheritance reserved and entailed to every soul possessing an interest in its
ancient and eternal deed of gift. Their eyes sparkled when they saw it as a
treasure-trove in the Bible; but oh! how their souls were gladdened when
they saw in the last will and testament of their divine kinsman, that it was
bequeathed to them! More especially it is the pleasure of God’s people to
contemplate the graciousness of this covenant. They see that the law was
made void because it was a covenant of works and depended upon merit,
but this they perceive to be enduring because grace is the basis, grace the
condition, grace the strain, grace the bulwark, grace the foundation, grace
the topstone. The covenant is a treasury of wealth, a granary of food, a
fountain of life, a store-house of salvation, a charter of peace, and a haven
of joy.

“If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.” — Acts 8:37
These words may answer your scruples, devout reader, concerning the ordinances. Perhaps you say, “I should be afraid to be baptized; it is such a solemn thing to avow myself to be dead with Christ, and buried with Him. should not feel at liberty to come to the Master’s table; I should be afraid of eating and drinking damnation unto myself, not discerning the Lord’s body.” Ah! poor trembler, Jesus has given you liberty, be not afraid. If a stranger came to your house, he would stand at the door, or wait in the hall; he would not dream of intruding unbidden into your parlour — he is not at home: but your child makes himself very free about the house; and so is it with the child of God. A stranger may not intrude where a child may venture. When the Holy Ghost has given you to…
feel the
spirit of adoption, you may come to Christian ordinances without fear.
The same rule holds good of the Christian’s inward privileges. You think,
poor seeker, that you are not allowed to rejoice with joy unspeakable and
full of glory; if you are permitted to get inside Christ’s door, or sit at the
bottom of His table, you will be well content. Ah! but you shall not have
less privileges than the very greatest. God makes no difference in His love
to His children. A child is a child to Him; He will not make him a hired
servant; but he shall feast upon the fatted calf, and shall have the music
and the dancing as much as if he had never gone astray. When Jesus comes
into the heart, He issues a general licence to be glad in the Lord. No chains
are worn in the court of King Jesus. Our admission into full privileges may
be gradual, but it is sure. Perhaps our reader is saying, “I wish I could
enjoy the promises, and walk at liberty in my Lord’s commands.” “If thou
believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.” Loose the chains of thy neck,
O captive daughter, for Jesus makes thee free.

“His fruit was sweet to my taste.” — Song of Solomon 2:3
Faith, in the Scripture, is spoken of under the emblem of all the senses. It
is sight: “Look unto me and be ye saved.” It is hearing: “Hear, and your
soul shall live.” Faith is smelling: “All thy garments smell of myrrh, and
aloes, and cassia”; “thy name is as ointment poured forth.” Faith is
spiritual touch. By this faith the woman came behind and touched the hem
of Christ’s garment, and by this we handle the things of the good word of
life. Faith is equally the spirit’s taste. “How sweet are Thy words to my
taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my lips.” “Except a man eat my flesh,”
saith Christ, “and drink my blood, there is no life in him.”
This “taste” is faith in one of its highest operations. One of the first performances of faith is…
hearing. We hear the voice of God, not with the
outward ear alone, but with the inward ear; we hear it as God’s Word, and
we believe it to be so; that is the “hearing” of faith. Then our mind looketh
upon the truth as it is presented to us; that is to say, we understand it, we
perceive its meaning; that is the “seeing” of faith. Next we discover its
preciousness; we begin to admire it, and find how fragrant it is; that is faith
in its “smell.” Then we appropriate the mercies which are prepared for us
in Christ; that is faith in its “touch.” Hence follow the enjoyments, peace,
delight, communion; which are faith in its “taste.” Any one of these acts of
faith is saving. To hear Christ’s voice as the sure voice of God in the soul
will save us; but that which gives true enjoyment is the aspect of faith
wherein Christ, by holy taste, is received into us, and made, by inward and
spiritual apprehension of His sweetness and preciousness, to be the food
of our souls. It is then we sit “under His shadow with great delight,” and
find His fruit sweet to our taste.

“If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.” — Exodus 22:6
But what restitution can he make who casts abroad the fire-brands of error, or the coals of lasciviousness, and sets men’s souls on a blaze with the fire of hell? The guilt is beyond estimate, and the result is irretrievable. If such an offender be forgiven, what grief it will cause him in the retrospect, since he cannot undo the mischief which he has done! An ill example may kindle a flame which years of amended character cannot quench. To burn the food of man is bad enough, but how much worse to destroy the soul! It may be useful to us to…
reflect how far we may have been guilty in the past, and to
enquire whether, even in the present, there may not be evil in us which has
a tendency to bring damage to the souls of our relatives, friends, or
neighbours.
The fire of strife is a terrible evil when it breaks out in a Christian church.
Where converts were multiplied, and God was glorified, jealousy and envy
do the devil’s work most effectually. Where the golden grain was being
housed, to reward the toil of the great Boaz, the fire of enmity comes in
and leaves little else but smoke and a heap of blackness. Woe unto those
by whom offences come. May they never come through us, for although
we cannot make restitution, we shall certainly be the chief sufferers if we
are the chief offenders. Those who feed the fire deserve just censure, but
he who first kindles it is most to blame. Discord usually takes first hold
upon the thorns; it is nurtured among the hypocrites and base professors
in the church, and away it goes among the righteous, blown by the winds
of hell, and no one knows where it may end. O Thou Lord and giver of
peace, make us peacemakers, and never let us aid and abet the men of
strife, or even unintentionally cause the least division among Thy people.

“The breaker is come up before them.” — Micah 2:13
Inasmuch as Jesus has gone before us, things remain not as they would have been had He never passed that way. He has conquered every foe that obstructed the way. Cheer up now thou faint-hearted warrior. Not only has Christ travelled the road, but He has slain thine enemies. Dost thou dread sin? He has nailed it to His cross. Dost thou fear death? He has been the death of Death. Art thou afraid of hell? He has barred it against the advent of any of His children; they shall never see the…
gulf of perdition.
Whatever foes may be before the Christian, they are all overcome. There
are lions, but their teeth are broken; there are serpents, but their fangs are
extracted; there are rivers, but they are bridged or fordable; there are
flames, but we wear that matchless garment which renders us invulnerable
to fire. The sword that has been forged against us is already blunted; the
instruments of war which the enemy is preparing have already lost their
point. God has taken away in the person of Christ all the power that
anything can have to hurt us. Well then, the army may safely march on,
and you may go joyously along your journey, for all your enemies are
conquered beforehand. What shall you do but march on to take the prey?
They are beaten, they are vanquished; all you have to do is to divide the
spoil. You shall, it is true, often engage in combat; but your fight shall be
with a vanquished foe. His head is broken; he may attempt to injure you,
but his strength shall not be sufficient for his malicious design. Your
victory shall be easy, and your treasure shall be beyond all count.
“Proclaim aloud the Saviour’s fame,
Who bears the Breaker’s wond’rous name; Sweet name; and it becomes him well,
Who breaks down earth, sin, death, and hell.”

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith.” — Ephesians 3:17
Beyond measure it is desirable that we, as believers, should have the person of Jesus constantly before us, to inflame our love towards Him, and to increase our knowledge of Him. I would to God that my readers were all entered as diligent scholars in Jesus’ college, students of Corpus Christi, or the body of Christ, resolved to attain unto a good degree in the learning of the cross. But to have Jesus ever near, the heart must be full of Him, welling up with His love, even to overrunning; hence the apostle prays “that Christ may dwell in your hearts.” See how near he would have Jesus to be! You cannot get a…
subject closer to you than to have it in the
heart itself. “That He may dwell”; not that He may call upon you
sometimes, as a casual visitor enters into a house and tarries for a night,
but that He may dwell; that Jesus may become the Lord and Tenant of
your inmost being, never more to go out.
Observe the words — that He may dwell in your heart, that best room of
the house of manhood; not in your thoughts alone, but in your affections;
not merely in the mind’s meditations, but in the heart’s emotions. We
should pant after love to Christ of a most abiding character, not a love that
flames up and then dies out into the darkness of a few embers, but a
constant flame, fed by sacred fuel, like the fire upon the altar which never
went out. This cannot be accomplished except by faith. Faith must be
strong, or love will not be fervent; the root of the flower must be healthy,
or we cannot expect the bloom to be sweet. Faith is the lily’s root, and
love is the lily’s bloom. Now, reader, Jesus cannot be in your heart’s love
except you have a firm hold of Him by your heart’s faith; and, therefore,
pray that you may always trust Christ in order that you may always love
Him. If love be cold, be sure that faith is drooping.

“The voice of weeping shall be no more heard.” — Isaiah 65:19
The glorified weep no more, for all outward a causes of grief are gone. There are no broken friendships, nor blighted prospects in heaven. Poverty, famine, peril, persecution, and slander, are unknown there. No pain distresses, no thought of death or bereavement saddens. They weep no more, for they are perfectly sanctified. No “evil heart of unbelief” prompts them to depart from the living God; they are without fault before His thrown, and are fully conformed to His image. Well may they cease to mourn who have ceased to sin. They weep no more, because all fear of change is past. They know that…
they are eternally secure. Sin is shut out,
and they are shut in. They dwell within a city which shall never be
stormed; they bask in a sun which shall never set; they drink of a river
which shall never dry; they pluck fruit from a tree which shall never
wither. Countless cycles may revolve, but eternity shall not be exhausted,
and while eternity endures, their immortality and blessedness shall co-exist
with it. They are for ever with the Lord. They weep no more, because
every desire is fulfilled. They cannot wish for anything which they have
not in possession. Eye and ear, heart and hand, judgment, imagination,
hope, desire, will, all the faculties, are completely satisfied; and imperfect
as our present ideas are of the things which God hath prepared for them
that love him, yet we know enough, by the revelation of the Spirit, that the
saints above are supremely blessed. The joy of Christ, which is an infinite
fulness of delight, is in them. They bathe themselves in the bottomless,
shoreless sea of infinite beatitude. That same joyful rest remains for us. It
may not be far distant. Ere long the weeping willow shall be exchanged for
the palm-branch of victory, and sorrow’s dewdrops will be transformed
into the pearls of everlasting bliss. “Wherefore comfort one another with
these words.”

“The unsearchable riches of Christ.” — Ephesians 3:8
My Master has riches beyond the count of arithmetic, the measurement of reason, the dream of imagination, or the eloquence of words. They are unsearchable! You may look, and study, and weigh, but Jesus is a greater Saviour than you think Him to be when your thoughts are at the greatest. My Lord is more ready to pardon than you to sin, more able to forgive than you to transgress. My Master is more willing to supply your wants than you are to confess them. Never tolerate low thoughts of my Lord Jesus. When you put the crown on His head, you will only crown Him with silver when He deserves gold. My Master has riches of happiness to bestow upon you now. He can make you…
to lie down in green pastures, and
lead you beside still waters. There is no music like the music of His pipe,
when He is the Shepherd and you are the sheep, and you lie down at His
feet. There is no love like His, neither earth nor heaven can match it. To
know Christ and to be found in Him — oh! this is life, this is joy, this is
marrow and fatness, wine on the lees well refined. My Master does not
treat His servants churlishly; He gives to them as a king giveth to a king;
He gives them two heavens — a heaven below in serving Him here, and a
heaven above in delighting in Him for ever. His unsearchable riches will be
best known in eternity. He will give you on the way to heaven all you need;
your place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks, your bread shall be
given you, and your waters shall be sure; but it is there, THERE, where
you shall hear the song of them that triumph, the shout of them that feast,
and shall have a face-to-face view of the glorious and beloved One. The
unsearchable riches of Christ! This is the tune for the minstrels of earth,
and the song for the harpers of heaven. Lord, teach us more and more of
Jesus, and we will tell out the good news to others.

“I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.” — Song of Solomon 5:8
Such is the language of the believer panting after present fellowship with Jesus, he is sick for his Lord. Gracious souls are never perfectly at ease except they are in a state of nearness to Christ; for when they are away from Him they lose their peace. The nearer to Him, the nearer to the perfect calm of heaven; the nearer to Him, the fuller the heart is, not only of peace, but of life, and vigour, and joy, for these all depend on constant intercourse with Jesus. What the sun is to the day, what the moon is to the night, what the dew is to the flower, such is Jesus Christ to us. What bread is to the hungry, clothing to the naked, the shadow of a great rock to the traveller in a weary land, such is…
Jesus Christ to us; and, therefore, if we
are not consciously one with Him, little marvel if our spirit cries in the
words of the Song, “I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find
my beloved, tell Him that I am sick of love.” This earnest longing after
Jesus has a blessing attending it: “Blessed are they that do hunger and
thirst after righteousness”; and therefore, supremely blessed are they who
thirst after the Righteous One. Blessed is that hunger, since it comes from
God: if I may not have the full-blown blessedness of being filled, I would
seek the same blessedness in its sweet bud-pining in emptiness and
eagerness till I am filled with Christ. If I may not feed on Jesus, it shall be
next door to heaven to hunger and thirst after Him. There is a hallowedness
about that hunger, since it sparkles among the beatitudes of our Lord. But
the blessing involves a promise. Such hungry ones “shall be filled” with
what they are desiring. If Christ thus causes us to long after Himself, He
will certainly satisfy those longings; and when He does come to us, as
come He will, oh, how sweet it will be!
