Jesus about his Father’s business

Jesus about his Father’s business

“Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.” John 4:34

Suggested Further Reading: 

John 18:33-40

Satan took him to the brow of a hill, and offered him all the kingdoms of this world—a mightier dominion even than Caesar had—if he would bow down and worship him.

That temptation was substantially repeated in Christ’s life a thousand times. You remember one practical instance as a specimen of the whole. “They would have taken him by force and would have made him a king.”

And if he had but pleased to accept that offer, on the day when he rode into Jerusalem upon a colt, the foal of an ass, when all cried “Hosanna!” when the palm branches were waving, he had needed to have done nothing but just to have gone into the temple, to have commanded with authority the priest to pour the sacred oil publicly upon his head, and he would have been king of the Jews.

Not with the mock title which he wore upon the cross, but with a real dignity he might have been monarch of nations. As for the Romans, his omnipotence could have swept away the intruders. He could have lifted up Judaea into a glory as great as the golden days of Solomon: he might have built Palmyras and Tadmors in the desert: he might have stormed Egypt and have taken Rome.

There was no empire that could have resisted him. With a band of zealots such as that nation could have furnished, and with such a leader capable of working miracles walking at the head, the star of Judaea might have risen with resplendent light, and a visible kingdom might have come, and his will might have been done on earth, from the river unto the ends of the earth.

But he came not to establish a carnal kingdom upon earth, else would his followers fight: he came to wear the thorn-crown, to bear our griefs and to carry our sorrows.

For meditation: 

Of what profit would it have been to any man, if Christ had gained the whole world and lost all our souls?

"Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus."—

"Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus."—

2 Timothy 2:1.

CHRIST has grace without measure in Himself, but He hath not retained it for Himself.

As the reservoir empties itself into the pipes, so hath Christ emptied out His grace for His people. "Of His fulness have all we received, and grace for grace."

 He seems only to have in order to dispense to us. He stands like the fountain, always flowing, but only running in order to supply the empty pitchers and the thirsty lips which draw nigh unto it. Like a tree, He bears sweet fruit, not to hang on boughs, but to be gathered by those who need.

Grace, whether its work be to pardon, to cleanse, to preserve, to strengthen, to enlighten, to quicken, or to restore, is ever to be had from Him freely and without price; nor is there one form of the work of grace which He has not bestowed upon His people.

As the blood of the body, though flowing from the heart, belongs equally to every member, so the influences of grace are the inheritance of every saint united to the Lamb; and herein there is a sweet communion between Christ and His Church, inasmuch as they both receive the same grace.

Christ is the head upon which the oil is first poured; but the same oil runs to the very skirts of the garments, so that the meanest saint has an unction of the same costly moisture as that which fell upon the head.

This is true communion when the sap of grace flows from the stem to the branch, and when it is perceived that the stem itself is sustained by the very nourishment which feeds the branch. As we day by day receive grace from Jesus, and more constantly recognize it as coming from Him, we shall behold Him in communion with us, and enjoy the felicity of communion with Him.

Let us make daily use of our riches, and ever repair to Him as to our own Lord in covenant, taking from Him the supply of all we need with as much boldness as men take money from their own purse.

A jealous God !

A jealous God

‘For the Lord, whose name is jealous, is a jealous God.’ 

Exodus 34:14

Suggested Further Reading: 

2 Kings 10:15–31

How careful should we be when we do anything for God, and God is pleased to accept of our doings, that we never congratulate ourselves. The minister of Christ should unrobe himself of every rag of praise. ‘You preached well,’ said a friend to John Bunyan one morning.

‘You are too late,’ said honest John, ‘the devil told me that before I left the pulpit.’

 The devil often tells God’s servants a great many things which they should be sorry to hear.

 Why, you can hardly be useful in a Sunday School but he will say to you ‘How well you have done it!’ You can scarcely resist a temptation, or set a good example, but he will be whispering to you ‘What an excellent person you must be!’ It is, perhaps, one of the hardest struggles of the Christian life to learn this sentence—‘Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory.’

Now God is so jealous on this point that, while he will forgive his own servants a thousand things, this is an offence for which he is sure to chasten us. Let a believer once say, ‘I am,’ and God will soon make him say ‘I am not’. Let a Christian begin to boast, ‘I can do all things,’ without adding ‘through Christ which stengtheneth me,’ and before long he will have to groan, ‘I can do nothing,’ and bemoan himself.

Many sins of true Christians, I do not doubt, have been the result of their glorifying themselves. Many a man has been permitted by God to stain a noble character and to ruin an admirable reputation, because the character and the reputation had come to be the man’s own, instead of being laid, as all our crowns must be laid, at the feet of Christ.

You may build the city, but if you say with Nebuchadnezzar, ‘Behold this great Babylon that I have built!’ you shall be smitten to the earth.

The worms which ate Herod when he gave not God the glory are ready for another meal; beware of vain glory!

For meditation: 

The temptation to pat ourselves on the back should be the cue for us to recall how the Lord Jesus Christ instructs us to think and speak about our good deeds (Luke 17:10).

Any glory resulting from them should go to God (Matthew 5:16).

Christ our life—soon to appear

Christ our life—soon to appear

‘When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.’

 Colossians 3:4

Suggested Further Reading: 

1 John 2:28–3:3

Christ will appear. The text speaks of it as a fact to be taken for granted. ‘When Christ, who is our life, shall appear.’ It is not a matter of question in the Christian church whether Christ will appear or not. Has not Christ appeared once? Yes, after a certain sort.

I remember reading a quaint expression of some old divine, that the book of Revelation might quite as well be called an obvelation, for it was rather a hiding than a revealing of things to come. So, when Jesus came it was hardly a revealing, it was a hiding of our Lord.

It is true that he was ‘manifest in the flesh,’ but it is equally true that the flesh shrouded and concealed his glory. The first manifestation was very partial; it was Christ seen through a glass, Christ in the mist of grief, and the cloud of humiliation.

 Christ is yet to appear in the strong sense of the word ‘appearing;’ he is to come out and shine forth. He is to leave the robes of scorn and shame behind, and to come in the glory of the Father and all his holy angels with him. This is the constant teaching of the word of God, and the constant hope of the church, that Christ will appear.

A thousand questions at once suggest themselves: How will Christ appear? When will Christ appear? Where will Christ appear? and so on. What God answers we may enquire, but some of our questions are mere impertinence.

 How will Christ appear? I believe Christ will appear in person. Whenever I think of the second coming, I never can tolerate the idea of a spiritual coming.

That always seems to me to be the most transparent folly that can possibly be put together; Christ cannot come spiritually, because he is always here: ‘Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.’

For meditation:

 Review Christ’s three appearances—

past (Hebrews 9:26),

present (Hebrews 9:24),

prospective (Hebrews 9:28).

We will not require any spokesmen to inform us of his second coming

(Matthew 24:23–27);

every eye will see him (Revelation 1:7).

"To whom belongest thou?"

"To whom belongest thou?"

—1 Samuel 30:13.

No neutralities can exist in religion.

We are either ranked under the banner of Prince Immanuel, to serve and fight His battles, or we are vassals of the black prince, Satan.

"To whom belongest thou?"

Reader, let me assist you in your response.
Have you been "born again"?
If you have, you belong to Christ, but without the new birth you cannot be His.
In whom do you trust? For those who believe in Jesus are the sons of God.

Whose work are you doing?
You are sure to serve your master, for he whom you serve is thereby owned to be your lord.
What company do you keep?
 If you belong to Jesus, you will fraternize with those who wear the livery of the cross.
 "Birds of a feather flock together."

 What is your conversation?
Is it heavenly or is it earthly?

What have you learned of your Master?—for servants learn much from their masters to whom they are apprenticed. If you have served your time with Jesus, it will be said of you, as it was of Peter and John, "They took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus."

We press the question, "To whom belongest thou?" Answer honestly before you give sleep to your eyes. If you are not Christ's you are in a hard service—Run away from your cruel master! Enter into the service of the Lord of Love, and you shall enjoy a life of blessedness.

 If you are Christ's let me advise you to do four things.

You belong to Jesus—obey him; let his word be your law; let His wish be your will.

You belong to the Beloved, then love Him; let your heart embrace Him; let your whole soul be filled with Him.

You belong to the Son of God, then trust him; rest nowhere but on him.

You belong to the King of kings, then be decided for Him.

Thus, without your being branded upon the brow, all will know to whom you belong.
