Following Leads to Honor

Following Leads to Honor

If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honor. 

(John 12:26)

The highest service is imitation. If I would be Christ's servant I must be His follower. To do as Jesus did is the surest way of bringing honor to His name. Let me mind this every day.

If I imitate Jesus I shall have His company: if I am like Him I shall be with Him. In due time He will take me up to dwell with Him above, if, meanwhile, I have striven to follow Him here below.

After His suffering our Lord came to His throne, and even so, after we have suffered a while with Him here below, we also shall arrive in glory. The issue of our Lord's life shall be the issue of ours: if we are with Him in His humiliation we shall be with Him in His glory.

Come, my soul, pluck up courage and put down thy feet in the blood-marked footprints which thy Lord has left thee.

Let me not fail to note that the Father will honor those who follow His Son. If He sees me true to Jesus, He will put marks of favor and honor upon me for His Son's sake. No honor can be like this.

 Princes and emperors bestow the mere shadows of honor; the substance of glory comes from the Father. Wherefore, my soul, cling thou to thy Lord Jesus more closely than ever.

The voice from heaven

The voice from heaven

‘And they heard a great voice from heaven, saying unto them, Come up hither.’ 
Revelation 11:12

Suggested Further Reading: 
John 13:36–14:3

‘Come up hither.’ The Father seems to say this to every adopted child. We say, ‘Our Father which art in heaven.’ The Father’s heart desires to have his children round his knee, and his love each day beckons us with a tender ‘Come up hither.’ Nor will your Father and my Father ever be content till every one of his children shall be in the many mansions above. 

And Jesus whispers this in your ear too. Hearken! Do you not hear him say, ‘I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me;’—‘the glory which I had with thee before the world was.’ Jesus beckons you to the skies, believer. Lay not fast hold upon the things of earth.

 He who is but a lodger in an inn must not live as though he were at home. Keep your tent ready for striking. Be ever prepared to draw up your anchor, and to sail across the sea and find the better port, for while Jesus beckons, here we have no continuing city. No true wife has rest save in the house of her husband. 

Where her consort is, there is her home, a home which draws her soul towards it every day. Jesus, I say, invites us to the skies. He cannot be completely content until he brings his body, the church, into the glory of its Head, and conducts his elect spouse to the marriage feast of her Lord. 

Besides the desires of the Father and the Son, all those who have gone before, seem to be leaning over the battlements of heaven, and calling, ‘Courage, brothers! Eternal glory awaits you. Fight your way, stem the current, breast the wave, and come up hither. 

We without you cannot be made perfect: there is no perfect church in heaven till all the chosen saints be there; therefore come up hither.’

For meditation:

 God calls us to himself on earth first (Matthew 11:28) 

and to heaven afterwards. Others have added their voices to that call (Revelation 22:17). 

Having come to Christ on earth, we should be calling him to come again from heaven (Revelation 22:20) 

to receive us, as his people, to himself (John 14:3).
