"In whom also we have obtained an inheritance."



"In whom also we have obtained an inheritance."
Ephesians 1:11

When Jesus gave himself for us, 
he gave us all the rights and privileges which went with himself; 
so that now, although as eternal God, 
he has essential rights to which no creature may venture to pretend, yet as Jesus, 
the Mediator, the federal head of the covenant of grace, 
he has no heritage apart from us. 

All the glorious consequences of his obedience unto death are the joint riches of all who are in him, 
and on whose behalf he accomplished the divine will.

See, he enters into glory, but not for himself alone,
 for it is written, "Whither the Forerunner is for us entered."
 Heb. 6:20. Does he stand in the presence of God?--
"He appears in the presence of God for us."
 Heb. 9:24. Consider this, believer. 

You have no right to heaven in yourself: 
your right lies in Christ. 
If you are pardoned, it is through his blood;
 if you are justified, it is through his righteousness;
 if you are sanctified, it is because he is made of God unto you sanctification;
 if you shall be kept from falling, 
it will be because you are preserved in Christ Jesus; 
and if you are perfected at the last, 
it will be because you are complete in him. 

Thus Jesus is magnified--for all is in him and by him; 
thus the inheritance is made certain to us--for it is obtained in him; 
thus each blessing is the sweeter, and even heaven itself the brighter, 
 because it is Jesus our Beloved 
"in whom" we have obtained all. 

Where is the man who shall estimate our divine portion? 
Weigh the riches of Christ in scales, 
and his treasure in balances,
 and then think to count the treasures which belong to the saints. 

Reach the bottom of Christ's sea of joy,
 and then hope to understand the bliss which God hath prepared for them that love him. 
Overleap the boundaries of Christ's possessions, 
and then dream of a limit to the fair inheritance of the elect. 

"All things are yours, for ye are Christ's and Christ is God's."

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 
If you are not a believer in Jesus Christ, 
you can be accepted into his kingdom.
 I invite you to let him to make of you what He always wanted.

"PRAYER" 

 God Almighty, I come to you in the precious name of Jesus, 

who died for me to make me free of sin, 

I want Jesus to enter in to my heart and make me free, 

I confess that He is the son of God. 

I ask to change my heart and to give me wisdom to understand 

your Holy Word full of promises of eternal value, not only to live 

on this earth, but to be expectant of my life in heaven. 

In the precious name of Jesus I ask.  

Amen..

And the shepherds returned



"And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them."
Luke 2:20

What was the subject of their praise? 
They praised God for what they had heard--for the good tidings of great joy that a Saviour was born unto them. 

Let us copy them; let us also raise a song of thanksgiving that we have heard of Jesus and his salvation. They also praised God for what they had seen. 

There is the sweetest music--what we have experienced,
 what we have felt within, what we have made our own--"the things which we have made touching the King."

 It is not enough to hear about Jesus: 
mere hearing may tune the harp, but the fingers of living faith must create the music. 

If you have seen Jesus with the God-giving sight of faith, 
suffer no cobwebs to linger among the harp strings, 
but loud to the praise of sovereign grace, 
awake your psaltery and harp. 

One point for which they praised God was the agreement between what they had heard and what they had seen. 
Observe the last sentence--"As it was told unto them." 

Have you not found the gospel to be in yourselves just what the Bible said it would be? 
Jesus said he would give you rest--have you not enjoyed the sweetest peace in him? 
He said you should have joy, and comfort, 
and life through believing in him--have you not received all these? 

Are not his ways ways of pleasantness, 
and his paths paths of peace? 
Surely you can say with the queen of Sheba,
 "The half has not been told me."

 I have found Christ more sweet than his servants ever said he was. 
I looked upon his likeness as they painted it, 
but it was a mere daub compared with himself; 
for the King in his beauty outshines all imaginable loveliness. 

Surely what we have "seen" keeps pace with, nay, far exceeds, what we have "heard."
 Let us, then, glorify and praise God for a Saviour so precious, and so satisfying.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 
If you are not a believer in Jesus Christ, 
you can be accepted into his kingdom.
 I invite you to let him to make of you what He always wanted.

"PRAYER" 

 God Almighty, I come to you in the precious name of Jesus, 

who died for me to make me free of sin, 

I want Jesus to enter in to my heart and make me free, 

I confess that He is the son of God. 

I ask to change my heart and to give me wisdom to understand 

your Holy Word full of promises of eternal value, not only to live 

on this earth, but to be expectant of my life in heaven. 

In the precious name of Jesus I ask.  

Amen..
