“Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field… let us see if the vine flourish.” — Song of Solomon 7:11,12
The church was about to engage in earnest labour, and desired her Lord’s company in it. She does not say, “I will go,” but “let us go.” It is blessed working when Jesus is at our side! It is the business of God’s people to be trimmers of God’s vines. Like our first parents, we are put into the garden of the Lord for usefulness; let us therefore go forth into the field. Observe that the church, when she is in her right mind, in all her many labours desires to enjoy communion with Christ. Some imagine that they cannot serve Christ actively, and yet have fellowship with Him: they are mistaken. Doubtless it is very easy to fritter away our inward life in outward exercises, and come to complain with the spouse, “They made me keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept:” but there is no reason why this should be the case except…
our own folly and neglect.
Certain is it that a professor may do nothing, and yet grow quite as lifeless
in spiritual things as those who are most busy. Mary was not praised for
sitting still; but for her sitting at Jesus’ feet. Even so, Christians are not to
be praised for neglecting duties under the pretence of having secret
fellowship with Jesus: it is not sitting, but sitting at Jesus’ feet which is
commendable. Do not think that activity is in itself an evil: it is a great
blessing, and a means of grace to us. Paul called it a grace given to him to be
allowed to preach; and every form of Christian service may become a
personal blessing to those engaged in it. Those who have most fellowship
with Christ are not recluses or hermits, who have much time to spare, but
indefatigable labourers who are toiling for Jesus, and who, in their toil,
have Him side by side with them, so that they are workers together with
God. Let us remember then, in anything we have to do for Jesus, that we
can do it, and should do it in close communion with Him.

“Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings.” — Ephesians 1:3
All the goodness of the past, the present, and the future, Christ bestows upon His people. In the mysterious ages of the past the Lord Jesus was His Father’s first elect, and in His election He gave us an interest, for we were chosen in Him from before the foundation of the world. He had from all eternity the prerogatives of Sonship, as His Father’s only-begotten and well-beloved Son, and He has, in the riches of His grace, by adoption and regeneration, elevated us to sonship also, so that to us He has given “power to become the sons of God.” The eternal covenant, based upon suretiship and confirmed by oath, is ours, for our strong consolation and security. In the everlasting settlements of predestinating wisdom and omnipotent decree, the eye of the Lord Jesus was ever fixed on us; and we may rest assured that…
in the whole roll of destiny there is not a line which militates against the interests of His redeemed. The great betrothal of the Prince of Glory is ours, for it is to us that He is affianced, as the sacred nuptials shall ere long declare to an assembled universe. The marvellous incarnation of the God of heaven, with all the amazing condescension and humiliation which attended it, is ours. The bloody sweat, the scourge, the cross, are ours for ever. Whatever blissful consequences flow from perfect obedience, finished atonement, resurrection, ascension, or intercession, all are ours by His own gift. Upon His breastplate he is now bearing our names; and in His authoritative pleadings at the throne He remembers our persons and pleads our cause. His dominion over principalities and powers, and His absolute majesty in heaven, He employs for the benefit of them who trust in Him. His high estate is as much at our service as was His condition of abasement. He who gave Himself for us in the depths of woe and death, doth not withdraw the grant now that He is enthroned in the highest heavens.

“Acquaint now thyself with Him.” — Job 22:21
If we would rightly “acquaint ourselves with God, and be at peace,” we must know Him as He has revealed Himself, not only in the unity of His essence and subsistence, but also in the plurality of His persons. God said, “Let us make man in our own image” — let not man be content until he knows something of the “us” from whom his being was derived. Endeavour to know the Father; bury your head in His bosom in deep repentance, and confess that you are not worthy to be called His son; receive the kiss of His love; let the ring which is the token of His eternal faithfulness be on your finger; sit at His table and let your heart make merry in His grace. Then press forward and seek to know much of…
the Son
of God who is the brightness of His Father’s glory, and yet in unspeakable
condescension of grace became man for our sakes; know Him in the
singular complexity of His nature: eternal God, and yet suffering, finite
man; follow Him as He walks the waters with the tread of deity, and as He
sits upon the well in the weariness of humanity. Be not satisfied unless
you know much of Jesus Christ as your Friend, your Brother, your
Husband, your all. Forget not the Holy Spirit; endeavour to obtain a clear
view of His nature and character, His attributes, and His works. Behold
that Spirit of the Lord, who first of all moved upon chaos, and brought
forth order; who now visits the chaos of your soul, and creates the order of
holiness. Behold Him as the Lord and giver of spiritual life, the Illuminator,
the Instructor, the Comforter, and the Sanctifier. Behold Him as, like holy
unction, He descends upon the head of Jesus, and then afterwards rests
upon you who are as the skirts of His garments. Such an intelligent,
scriptural, and experimental belief in the Trinity in Unity is yours if you
truly know God; and such knowledge brings peace indeed.

“She that was healed wist not who it was.” — 1 John 5:13
Years are short to the happy and healthy; but thirty-eight years of disease must have dragged a very weary length along the life of the poor impotent man. When Jesus, therefore, healed him by a word, while he lay at the pool of Bethesda, he was delightfully sensible of a change. Even so the sinner who has for weeks and months been paralyzed with despair, and has wearily sighed for salvation, is very conscious of the change when the Lord Jesus speaks the word of power, and gives joy and peace in believing. The evil removed is too great to be removed without our discerning it; the life imparted is too remarkable to be possessed and remain inoperative; and the change wrought is too marvellous not to be perceived. Yet…
the poor man
was ignorant of the author of his cure; he knew not the sacredness of His
person, the offices which he sustained, or the errand which brought Him
among men. Much ignorance of Jesus may remain in hearts which yet feel
the power of His blood. We must not hastily condemn men for lack of
knowledge; but where we can see the faith which saves the soul, we must
believe that salvation has been bestowed. The Holy Spirit makes men
penitents long before He makes them divines; and he who believes what he
knows, shall soon know more clearly what he believes. Ignorance is,
however, an evil; for this poor man was much tantalized by the Pharisees,
and was quite unable to cope with them. It is good to be able to answer
gainsayers; but we cannot do so if we know not the Lord Jesus clearly and
with understanding. The cure of his ignorance, however, soon followed the
cure of his infirmity, for he was visited by the Lord in the temple; and after
that gracious manifestation, he was found testifying that “it was Jesus who
had made him whole.” Lord, if Thou hast saved me, show me Thyself, that
I may declare Thee to the sons of men.

“Great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.” — Matthew 12:15
What a mass of hideous sickness must have thrust itself under the eye of Jesus! Yet we read not that He was disgusted, but patiently waited on every case. What a singular variety of evils must have met at His feet! What sickening ulcers and putrefying sores! Yet He was ready for every new shape of the monster evil, and was victor over it in every form. Let the arrow fly from what quarter it might, He quenched its fiery power. The heat of fever, or the cold of dropsy; the lethargy of palsy, or the rage of madness; the filth of leprosy, or the darkness of ophthalmia — all knew the power of His word, and fled at His command. In every corner of the field He was triumphant over evil, and received the…
homage of delivered
captives. He came, He saw, He conquered everywhere. It is even so this
morning. Whatever my own case may be, the beloved Physician can heal
me; and whatever may be the state of others whom I may remember at this
moment in prayer, I may have hope in Jesus that He will be able to heal
them of their sins. My child, my friend, my dearest one, I can have hope
for each, for all, when I remember the healing power of my Lord; and on
my own account, however severe my struggle with sins and infirmities, I
may yet be of good cheer. He who on earth walked the hospitals, still
dispenses His grace, and works wonders among the sons of men: let me go
to Him at once in right earnest.
Let me praise Him, this morning, as I remember how He wrought His
spiritual cures, which bring Him most renown. It was by taking upon
Himself our sicknesses. “By His stripes we are healed.” The Church on
earth is full of souls healed by our beloved Physician; and the inhabitants
of heaven itself confess that “He healed them all.” Come, then, my soul,
publish abroad the virtue of His grace, and let it be “to the Lord for a
name, for an everlasting sign which shall not be cut off.”

“All the days of my appointed time will I wait.” — Job 14:14
A little stay on earth will make heaven more heavenly. Nothing makes rest so sweet as toil; nothing renders security so pleasant as exposure to alarms. The bitter quassia cups of earth will give a relish to the new wine which sparkles in the golden bowls of glory. Our battered armour and scarred countenances will render more illustrious our victory above, when we are welcomed to the seats of those who have overcome the world. We should not have full fellowship with Christ if we did not for awhile sojourn below, for He was baptized with a baptism of suffering among men, and we must be baptized with the same if we would share his kingdom. Fellowship with Christ is so honourable that the sorest sorrow is a light price by which to procure it. Another reason for our lingering here is…
for
the good of others. We would not wish to enter heaven till our work is
done, and it may be that we are yet ordained to minister light to souls
benighted in the wilderness of sin. Our prolonged stay here is doubtless for
God’s glory. A tried saint, like a well-cut diamond, glitters much in the
King’s crown. Nothing reflects so much honour on a workman as a
protracted and severe trial of his work, and its triumphant endurance of the
ordeal without giving way in any part. We are God’s workmanship, in
whom He will be glorified by our afflictions. It is for the honour of Jesus
that we endure the trial of our faith with sacred joy. Let each man
surrender his own longings to the glory of Jesus, and feel, “If my lying in
the dust would elevate my Lord by so much as an inch, let me still lie
among the pots of earth. If to live on earth for ever would make my Lord
more glorious, it should be my heaven to be shut out of heaven.” Our time
is fixed and settled by eternal decree. Let us not be anxious about it, but
wait with patience till the gates of pearl shall open.

“We dwell in Him.” — 1 John 4:13
Do you want a house for your soul? Do you ask, “What is the purchase?” It is something less than proud human nature will like to give. It is without money and without price. Ah! you would like to pay a respectable rent! You would love to do something to win Christ? Then you cannot have the house, for it is “without price.” Will you take my Master’s house on a lease for all eternity, with nothing to pay for it, nothing but the ground-rent of loving and serving Him for ever? Will you take Jesus and “dwell in Him?” See, this house is furnished with all you want, it is filled with riches more than you will spend as long as you live. Here you can have intimate communion with Christ and feast on His love; here are tables well-stored with food for you to live on for ever; in it, when weary, you can find rest with Jesus; and from it you can…
look out and see heaven itself. Will you have the house? Ah! if you are houseless, you will say, “I should like to have the house; but may I have it?” Yes; there is the key — the key is, “Come to Jesus.” “But,” you say, “I am too shabby for such a house.” Never mind; there are garments inside. If you feel guilty and condemned, come; and though the house is too good for you, Christ will make you good enough for the house by-and-by. He will wash you and cleanse you, and you will yet be able to sing, “We dwell in Him.” Believer: thrice happy art thou to have such a dwelling-place! Greatly privileged thou art, for thou hast a “strong habitation” in which thou art ever safe. And “dwelling in Him,” thou hast not only a perfect and secure house, but an everlasting one. When this world shall have melted like a dream, our house shall live, and stand more imperishable than marble, more solid than granite, self-existent as God, for it is God Himself — ”We dwell in Him.”

“He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.” — Proverbs 16:20
Wisdom is man’s true strength; and, under its guidance, he best accomplishes the ends of his being. Wisely handling the matter of life gives to man the richest enjoyment, and presents the noblest occupation for his powers; hence by it he finds good in the fullest sense. Without wisdom, man is as the wild ass’s colt, running hither and thither, wasting strength which might be profitably employed. Wisdom is the compass by which man is to steer across the trackless waste of life; without it he is a derelict vessel, the sport of winds and waves. A man must be prudent in such a world as this, or he will find no good, but be betrayed into unnumbered ills. The pilgrim will sorely wound his feet among the briers of the wood of life if he do not pick his steps with the utmost caution. He who is in a…
wilderness infested with robber bands must handle matters wisely if he
would journey safely. If, trained by the Great Teacher, we follow where
He leads, we shall find good, even while in this dark abode; there are
celestial fruits to be gathered this side of Eden’s bowers, and songs of
paradise to be sung amid the groves of earth. But where shall this wisdom
be found? Many have dreamed of it, but have not possessed it. Where
shall we learn it? Let us listen to the voice of the Lord, for He hath
declared the secret; He hath revealed to the sons of men wherein true
wisdom lieth, and we have it in the text, “Whoso trusteth in the Lord,
happy is he.” The true way to handle a matter wisely is to trust in the Lord.
This is the sure clue to the most intricate labyrinths of life, follow it and
find eternal bliss. He who trusts in the Lord has a diploma for wisdom
granted by inspiration: happy is he now, and happier shall he be above.
Lord, in this sweet eventide walk with me in the garden, and teach me the
wisdom of faith.

“I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” — 2 Corinthians 6:16
What a sweet title: “My people!” What a cheering revelation: “Their God!” How much of meaning is couched in those two words, “My people!” Here is speciality. The whole world is God’s; the heaven, even the heaven of heavens is the Lord’s, and He reigneth among the children of men; but of those whom He hath chosen, whom He hath purchased to Himself, He saith what He saith not of others — ”My people” In this word there is the idea of proprietorship. In a special manner the “Lord’s portion is His people; Jacob is the lot of His inheritance.” All the nations upon earth are His; the whole world is in His power; yet are His people, His chosen, more especially His possession; for He has done more for them than others; He has bought them with His blood; He has…
brought
them nigh to Himself; He has set His great heart upon them; He has loved
them with an everlasting love, a love which many waters cannot quench,
and which the revolutions of time shall never suffice in the least degree to
diminish. Dear friends, can you, by faith, see yourselves in that number?
Can you look up to heaven and say, “My Lord and my God: mine by that
sweet relationship which entitles me to call Thee Father; mine by that
hallowed fellowship which I delight to hold with Thee when Thou art
pleased to manifest Thyself unto me as Thou dost not unto the world?”
Canst thou read the Book of Inspiration, and find there the indentures of
thy salvation? Canst thou read thy title writ in precious blood? Canst
thou, by humble faith, lay hold of Jesus’ garments, and say, “My Christ”?
If thou canst, then God saith of thee, and of others like thee, “My
people;” for, if God be your God, and Christ your Christ, the Lord has a
special, peculiar favour to you; you are the object of His choice, accepted
in His beloved Son.

“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible.” — 1 Peter 1:23
Peter most earnestly exhorted the scattered saints to love each other “with a pure heart fervently” and he wisely fetched his argument, not from the law, from nature, or from philosophy, but from that high and divine nature which God hath implanted in His people. Just as some judicious tutor of princes might labour to beget and foster in them a kingly spirit and dignified behaviour, finding arguments in their position and descent, so, looking upon God’s people as heirs of glory, princes of the blood royal, descendants of the King of kings, earth’s truest and oldest aristocracy, Peter saith to them, “See that ye love one another, because of your noble birth, being born of incorruptible seed; because of your pedigree, being descended from God, the Creator of all things; and because of your…
immortal destiny, for you shall never pass away, though the glory of the
flesh shall fade, and even its existence shall cease.” It would be well if, in
the spirit of humility, we recognized the true dignity of our regenerated
nature, and lived up to it. What is a Christian? If you compare him with a
king, he adds priestly sanctity to royal dignity. The king’s royalty often
lieth only in his crown, but with a Christian it is infused into his inmost
nature. He is as much above his fellows through his new birth, as a man is
above the beast that perisheth. Surely he ought to carry himself, in all his
dealings, as one who is not of the multitude, but chosen out of the world,
distinguished by sovereign grace, written among “the peculiar people” and
who therefore cannot grovel in the dust as others, nor live after the manner
of the world’s citizens. Let the dignity of your nature, and the brightness
of your prospects, O believers in Christ, constrain you to cleave unto
holiness, and to avoid the very appearance of evil.
