"Get thee up into the high mountain."

"Get thee up into the high mountain."

Isaiah 40:9.

Each believer should be thirsting for God, for the living God, and longing to climb the hill of the Lord, and see Him face to face. We ought not to rest content in the mists of the valley when the summit of Tabor awaits us. My soul thirsteth to drink deep of the cup which is reserved for those who reach the mountain's brow, and bathe their brows in heaven. 

How pure are the dews of the hills, how fresh is the mountain air, how rich the fare of the dwellers aloft, whose windows look into the New Jerusalem! Many saints are content to live like men in coal mines, who see not the sun; they eat dust like the serpent when they might taste the ambrosial meat of angels; they are content to wear the miner's garb when they might put on king's robes; tears mar their faces when they might anoint them with celestial oil. 

Satisfied I am that many a believer pines in a dungeon when he might walk on the palace roof, and view the goodly land and Lebanon. Rouse thee, O believer, from thy low condition! Cast away thy sloth, thy lethargy, thy coldness, or whatever interferes with thy chaste and pure love to Christ, thy soul's Husband.

 Make Him the source, the centre, and the circumference of all thy soul's range of delight. What enchants thee into such folly as to remain in a pit when thou mayst sit on a throne? Live not in the lowlands of bondage now that mountain liberty is conferred upon thee. Rest no longer satisfied with thy dwarfish attainments, but press forward to things more sublime and heavenly. Aspire to a higher, a nobler, a fuller life. Upward to heaven! Nearer to God!

"When wilt Thou come unto me, Lord?

Oh come, my Lord most dear!

Come near, come nearer, nearer still,

I'm blest when Thou art near."

Man’s ruin and God’s remedy

“And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.” 

Numbers 21:8

Suggested Further Reading: Luke 23:1-5

Christ’s redemption was so plenteous, that had God willed it, if all the stars of heaven had been peopled with sinners, Christ need not have suffered another pang to redeem them all—there was a boundless value in his precious blood. And, sinner, if there were so much as this, surely there is enough for thee. 

And then again, if thou art not satisfied with Christ’s sin-offering, just think a moment; God is satisfied, God the Father is content, and must not thou be? The Judge saith, “I am satisfied; let the sinner go free, for I have punished the Surety in his stead;” and if the Judge is satisfied, surely the criminal may be. Oh! Come, poor sinner, come and see; if there is enough to appease the wrath of God there must be enough to answer all the requirements of man. 

“Nay, nay,” saith one, “but my sin is such a terrible one that I cannot see in the substitution of Christ that which is like to meet it.” What is thy sin? “Blasphemy.” Why, Christ died for blasphemy: this was the very charge which man imputed to him, and therefore you may be quite sure that God laid it on him if men did. 

“Nay, nay,” saith one, “but I have been worse than that; I have been a liar.” It is just what men said of him. They declared that he lied when he said, “If this temple be destroyed I will build it in three days.” See in Christ a liar’s Saviour as well as a blasphemer’s Saviour. “But,” says one, “I have been in league with Beelzebub.” 

Just what they said of Christ. They said that he cast out devils through Beelzebub. So man laid that sin on him, and man did unwittingly what God would have him do. I tell thee, even that sin was laid on Christ.

For meditation:

 Christ was truly a sign spoken against (Luke2:34). Men called him many names which God had never given him—Beelzebub (Matthew 10:25), glutton and drunkard (Matthew 11:19), impostor (Matthew 27:63), liar (John 8:13), sinner (John 9:24), demon-possessed and mad (John 10:20), and blasphemer (John 10:33). On the cross God treated his Son as if he was everything that man had accused him of, and every other sin besides.

Sermon no. 285

20 November (1859)

"O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul."

"O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul."

Lamentations 3:58

Observe how positively the prophet speaks. 
He doth not say, "I hope, I trust, I sometimes think,
 that God hath pleaded the causes of my soul;"
 but he speaks of it as a matter of fact not to be disputed. 

"Thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul." 
Let us, by the aid of the gracious Comforter, 
shake off those doubts and fears which so much 
mar our peace and comfort.

 Be this our prayer, that we may have done with the 
harsh croaking voice of surmise and 
suspicion, and may be able to speak with the clear, 
melodious voice of full assurance. 

Notice how gratefully the prophet speaks, 
 all the glory to God alone! You perceive there is not
 a word concerning himself or his own pleadings.

 He doth not ascribe his deliverance in any measure to
 any man, much less to his own merit; but it is 
"thou"--"O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my 
soul; thou hast redeemed my life."

A grateful spirit should ever be cultivated by the Christian;
 and especially after deliverances we should prepare a song for our God. 

Earth should be a temple filled with the songs of grateful saints, 
and every day should be a censor smoking with 
the sweet incense of thanksgiving. 

How joyful Jeremiah seems to be while he records the 
Lord's mercy. How triumphantly he lifts up the strain! 
He has been in the low dungeon, 
and is even now no other than the weeping prophet; 
and yet in the very book which is called "Lamentations,"
 clear as the song of Miriam when she 
dashed her fingers against the tabor,

shrill as the note of Deborah when she met Barak with 
shouts of victory, we hear the voice of Jeremy going 
up to heaven--"Thou hast pleaded the causes of my 
soul; thou hast redeemed my life." 

O children of God, seek after a vital experience of the 
Lord's lovingkindness, and when you 
have it, speak positively of it; sing gratefully; 
shout triumphantly.

From Obedience to Blessing

Rothschild Boulevard Tel Aviv

From Obedience to Blessing

From this day will I bless you. (Haggai 2:19)

Future things are hidden from us. Yet here is a glass in which we may see the unborn years. 

The Lord says, "From this day will I bless you."

It is worthwhile to note the day which is referred to in this promise.
There had been failure of crops, blasting, and mildew, and all because of the people's sin.
Now, the Lord saw these chastened ones commencing to obey His word and build His
 temple,  and therefore He says, "From the day that the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid, consider.

From this day will I bless you." If we have lived in any sin, and the Spirit leads us to purge ourselves of it, we may reckon upon the blessing of the Lord. His smile, His Spirit,
His grace, His fuller revelation of His truth will all prove to us an enlarged blessing.

We may fall into greater opposition from man because of our faithfulness,
but we shall rise to closer dealings with the Lord our God and a clearer sight of our 
acceptance in Him.

Lord, I am resolved to be more true to Thee and more exact in my following of
Thy doctrine and Thy precept; and I pray Thee, therefore, by Christ Jesus, to increase 
the blessedness of my daily life henceforth and forever.
