"Your refuge from the avenger of blood."

—Joshua 20:3.

IT is said that in the land of Canaan, cities of refuge were so arranged, that any man might reach one of them within half a day at the utmost. Even so the word of our salvation is near to us; Jesus is a present Saviour, and the way to Him is short; it is but a simple renunciation of our own merit, and a laying hold of Jesus, to be our all in all. 

With regard to the roads to the city of refuge, we are told that they were strictly preserved, every river was bridged, and every obstruction removed, so that the man who fled might find an easy passage to the city. Once a year the elders went along the roads and saw to their order, so that nothing might impede the flight of any one, and cause him, through delay, to be overtaken and slain. 

How graciously do the promises of the gospel remove stumbling blocks from the way!

 Wherever there were by-roads and turnings, there were fixed up hand-posts, with the inscription upon them—"To the city of refuge!" This is a picture of the road to Christ Jesus. It is no roundabout road of the law; it is no obeying this, that, and the other; it is a straight road: "Believe, and live." 

It is a road so hard, that no self-righteous man can ever tread it, but so easy, that every sinner, who knows himself to be a sinner may by it find his way to heaven. No sooner did the man-slayer reach the outworks of the city than he was safe; it was not necessary for him to pass far within the walls, but the suburbs themselves were sufficient protection.

Learn hence, that if you do but touch the hem of Christ's garment, you shall be made whole; if you do but lay hold upon him with "faith as a grain of mustard seed," you are safe.

"A little genuine grace ensures
The death of all our sins."

Only waste no time, loiter not by the way, for the avenger of blood is swift of foot; 
and it may be he is at your heels at this still hour of eventide.

He Freely Gives

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:32)

If this is not a promise in form, it is in fact. 

Indeed, it is more than one promise, it is a conglomerate of promises. 

It is a mass of rubies, and emeralds, and diamonds, with a nugget of gold for their setting.

 It is a question which can never be answered so as to cause us any anxiety of heart. 

What can the Lord deny us after giving us Jesus? 

If we need all things in heaven and earth, He will grant them to us: for if there had been a limit anywhere, He would have kept back His own Son.

What do I want today? I have only to ask for it. I may seek earnestly, but not as if I had to use pressure and extort an unwilling gift from the Lord's hand; for He will give freely. 

Of His own He gave us His own Son. 

Certainly no one would have proposed such a gift to Him. 

No one would have ventured to ask for it. 

It would have been too presumptuous.

 He freely gave His Only-begotten, and, O my soul, canst thou not trust thy heavenly Father to give thee anything, to give thee everything? 

Thy poor prayer would have no force with Omnipotence if force were needed; but His love, like a spring, rises of itself and overflows for the supply of all thy needs.

Grow Up !!!

And ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. (Malachi 4:2)

Yes, when the sun shines, the sick quit their chambers and walk abroad to breathe the fresh air. 

When the sun brings spring and summer, the cattle quit their stalls and seek pasture on the higher Alps. 

Even thus, when we have conscious fellowship with our Lord, we leave the stall of despondency and walk abroad in the fields of holy confidence. 

We ascend to the mountains of joy and feed on sweet pasturage which grows nearer heaven than the provender of carnal men.

To "go forth" and to "grow up" is a double promise. O my soul, be thou eager to enjoy both blessings! Why shouldst thou be a prisoner? Arise, and walk at liberty. 

Jesus saith that His sheep shall go in and out and find pasture; go forth, then, and feed in the rich meadows of boundless love.

Why remain a babe in grace?

 Grow up. 

Young calves grow fast, especially if they are stall fed; and thou hast the choice care of thy Redeemer.

 Grow, then, in grace and in knowledge of thy Lord and Savior, Be neither straitened nor stunted. 

The Sun of Righteousness has risen upon thee Answer to His beams as the buds to the natural sun. 

Open thine heart; expand and grow up into Him in all things.

Never Despair

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings. (Malachi 4.2)

Fulfilled once in the first advent of our glorious Lord, and yet to have a fuller accomplishment in His second advent, this gracious word is also for daily use. Is it dark with the reader? Does the night deepen into a denser blackness? Still let us not despair: the sun will yet rise.

When the night is darkest, dawn is nearest.
The sun which will arise is of no common sort. It is the Sun—the Sun of Righteousness, whose every ray is holiness.

He who comes to cheer us, comes in the way of justice as well as of mercy, comes to violate no law even to save us. Jesus as much displays the holiness of God as His love. Our deliverance, when it comes, will be safe because righteous.

Our one point of inquiry should be—"Do we fear the name of the Lord? Do we reverence the living God and walk in His ways?" Then for us the night must be short; and when the morning cometh, all the sickness and sorrow of our soul will be over forever.

 Light, warmth, joy, and clearness of vision will come, and healing of every disease and distress will follow after.

Has Jesus risen upon us? Let us sit in the sun.
 Has He hidden His face? Let us wait for His rising.

He will shine forth as surely as the sun.

"The Lord our Righteousness."

Jeremiah 23:6. 

IT will always give a Christian the greatest calm, quiet, ease, and peace, to think of the perfect righteousness of Christ.

How often are the saints of God downcast and sad! I do not think they ought to be. I do not think they would if they could always see their perfection in Christ.

There are some who are always talking about corruption, and the depravity of the heart, and the innate evil of the soul. This is quite true, but why not go a little further, and remember that we are
 "perfect in Christ Jesus."

 It is no wonder that those who are dwelling upon their own corruption should wear such downcast looks; but surely if we call to mind that "Christ is made unto us righteousness,"
we shall be of good cheer.

What though distresses afflict me, though Satan assault me, though there may be many things to be experienced before I get to heaven, those are done for me in the covenant of divine grace; there is nothing wanting in my Lord, Christ hath done it all.

On the cross He said, "It is finished!" and if it be finished, then am I complete in Him, and can rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory,

"Not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith."

You will not find on this side heaven a holier people than those who receive into their hearts the doctrine of Christ's righteousness.

When the believer says, "I live on Christ alone; I rest on Him solely for salvation; and I believe that, however unworthy, I am still saved in Jesus;" then there rises up as a motive of gratitude this thought—"Shall I not live to Christ? Shall I not love Him and serve Him, seeing that I am saved by His merits?" "The love of Christ constraineth us," "that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves but unto Him which died for them."

 If saved by imputed righteousness, we shall greatly value imparted righteousness.

A faithful minister !!!

A faithful minister

(Letters of John Newton)

"He is a dear brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord." Colossians 4:7

Dear fellow Pastor and Servant of the Lord!!! 

You have desired a good work—may the Lord give you the desires of your heart. 

May He give you . . .

  the wisdom of Daniel, 

  the meekness of Moses,

  the courage of Joshua,

  the zeal of Paul, and

  that self-abasement and humility which Job and Isaiah felt—when they not only had heard of Him by the hearing of the ear—but when they saw His glory, and abhorred themselves in dust and ashes!

May you be taught of God—for none teaches like Him—and come forth an able minister of the New Covenant, well instructed rightly to divide and faithfully to distribute the Word of truth.

In the school of Christ, you will have to learn some lessons which are not very pleasant to flesh and blood. You must learn to labor, to run, to fight, to wrestle—and many other hard exercises—some of which will try your strength, and others your patience. 

You know the common expression, 'a jack of all trades'.

 I am sure a minister had need be such a one:

  a brave soldier,

  an alert watchman, 

  a caring shepherd,

  a hardworking farmer,

  a skillful builder,

  a wise counselor,

  a competent physician,

  and a loving nurse.

But do not be discouraged—you have a wonderful and a gracious Master, who does not only give instructions—but power andability! He engages that His grace shall be sufficient, at all times and in all circumstances, for those who simply give themselves up to His teaching and His service.

"Be an example to all believers . . .

  in what you teach,

  in the way you live,

  in your love, your faith, and your purity." 

    1 Timothy 4:12

LET'S TAKE THE EXAMPLE OF JESUS

Obedience Brings Blessing !!!

Obedience Brings Blessing

Observe and hear all these words, which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the Lord thy God. (Deuteronomy 12:28)

Though salvation is not by the works of the law, yet the blessings which are promised to obedience are not denied to the faithful servants of God.

The curses our Lord took away when He was made a curse for us,
but no clause of blessing has been abrogated.

We are to note and listen to the revealed will of the Lord,
giving our attention not to portions of it but to "all these words."

There must be no picking and choosing but an impartial respect to all that God has commanded.
 This is the road of blessedness for the Father and for His children.

The Lord's blessing is upon His chosen to the third and fourth generation.
If they walk uprightly before Him, He will make all men know that
they are a seed which the Lord has blessed.

No blessing can come to us or ours through dishonesty or double dealing.
The ways of worldly conformity and unholiness cannot bring good to us or ours.

It will go well with us when we go well before God. 
If integrity does not make us prosper, knavery will not.

That which gives pleasure to God will bring pleasure to us.
