"When I passed by thee, I said unto thee, Live."—Ezekiel 16:6.
AVED one, consider gratefully this mandate (of mercy. Note that this fiat of God is majestic. In our text, we perceive a sinner with nothing in him but sin, expecting nothing but wrath; but the eternal Lord passes by in His glory; l He looks. He pauses, and He pronounces the solitary but royal word, "Live." There speaks a God.
Who but He could venture thus to deal with life and dispense it
with a single syllable? Again, this fiat is manifold. When He saith
"Live," it includes many things. Here is judicial life. The sinner is ready to
be condemned, but the mighty One saith, "Live," and he rises pardoned and
absolved. It is spiritual life. We knew not Jesus—our eyes could not see Christ,
our ears could not hear His voice—Jehovah said "Live," and we were quickened who
were dead in trespasses and sins.
Moreover, it includes glory-life, which is the
perfection of spiritual life. "I said unto thee, Live:" and that word rolls on
through all the years of time till death comes, and in the midst of the shadows
of death, the Lord's voice is still heard, "Live!" In the morning of the
resurrection it is that self-same voice which is echoed by the arch-angel,
"Live," and as holy spirits rise to heaven to be blest for ever in the glory of
their God, it is in the power of this same word, "Live."
Note again, that it is
an irresistible mandate. Saul of Tarsus is on the road to Damascus to
arrest the saints of the living God. A voice is heard from heaven and a light is
seen above the brightness of the sun, and Saul is crying out, "Lord, what wilt
thou have me to do?" This mandate is a mandate of free grace. When
sinners are saved, it is only and solely because God will do it to
magnify His free, unpurchased, unsought grace.
Christians, see your position,
debtors to grace; show your gratitude by earnest, Christlike lives, and as God
has bidden you live, see to it that you live in earnest.
