Justice satisfied


Justice satisfied

“Just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 
1 John 1:9

Suggested Further Reading: 
Genesis 50:15-21

I have heard of Mr John Wesley, that he was attended in most of his journeyings by one who loved him very much, and was willing, I believe, to have died for him. 

Still he was a man of a very stubborn and obstinate disposition, and Mr Wesley was not perhaps the very kindest man at all times. 

Upon one occasion he said to this man, 
“Joseph, take these letters to the post.” 
“I will take them after preaching, sir.” 
“Take them now, Joseph,” said Mr Wesley. 

“I wish to hear you preach, sir; and there will be sufficient time for the post after service.” 
“I insist upon your going now, Joseph.” 
“I will not go at present.”
 “You won’t?” 
“No, sir.” “Then you and I must part,” said Mr Wesley.
 “Very good, sir.” 
The good men slept over it. 
Both were early risers. 

At four o’clock the next morning, the refractory helper was accosted with, “Joseph, have you considered what I said—that we must part?” 
“Yes, sir.”

 “And must we part?”
 “Please yourself, sir.”
 “Will you ask my pardon, Joseph?” 
“No, sir.”
 “You won’t?” 
“No, sir.” 
“Then I will ask yours, Joseph!”

 Poor Joseph was instantly melted, and they were at once reconciled. When once the grace of God has entered the heart, a man ought to be ready to seek forgiveness for an injury done to another. 

There is nothing wrong in a man confessing an offence against a fellow-man, and asking pardon for the wrong he has done him. If you have done aught, then, against any man, leave thy gift before the altar, and go and make peace with him, and then come and make peace with God. 

You are to make confession of your sin to God. 
Let that be humble and sincere. 
You cannot mention every offence, but do not hide one.

For meditation:

 If we cannot bring ourselves to apologise to and to forgive those we have seen, we must know little about true confession to and the forgiveness of God whom we have not seen 
(Matthew 6:14,15; 1 John 4:20).

As the Life -- So the Fruit



As the Life -- So the Fruit

"For if these thing be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our LORD Jesus Christ"   
(2 Peter 1:8).

If we desire to glorify our LORD by fruitfulness, we must have certain things within us; for nothing can come out of us which is not first of all within us. 

We must begin with faith, which is the groundwork of all the virtues; and then diligently add to it virtue, knowledge, temperance, and patience. With these we must have godliness and brotherly love. 

All these put together will most assuredly cause us to produce, as our life fruit, the clusters of usefulness, and we shall not be mere idle knowers but real doers of the Word. 

These holy things must not only be in us, but abound, or we shall be barren. Fruit is the overflow of life, and we must be full before we can flow over.

We have noticed men of considerable parts and opportunities who have never succeeded in doing real good in the conversion of souls; and after close observation we have concluded that they lacked certain graces which are absolutely essential to fruit bearing. 

For real usefulness, graces are better than gifts. 
As the man is, so is his work. If we would do better, 
we must be better. Let the text be a gentle hint to unfruitful professors and to myself also.

Choice portions


Choice portions

‘The Lord is my portion, saith my soul.’ 
Lamentations 3:24

Suggested Further Reading: 
1 John 4:7–19

The love of God changes us into its own image, so that what the Lord says concerning us, we can also declare concerning him. God is love essentially, and when this essential love shines forth freely upon us, we reflect it back upon him. 

He is like the sun, the great father of lights, and we are as the moon and the planets, we shine in rays borrowed from his brightness. He is the golden seal, and we, his people, are the wax receiving the impression. 

Our heaven is to be likeness to Christ, and our preparation for heaven consists in a growing imitation of him in all things. See, brethren, how the Lord gives the word, and our heart, like an echo, repeats every syllable. 

The Lord loves his people, and we love him because he first loved us; he has chosen his saints, and they have also made him their chosen heritage. 

The saints are precious to Jesus, and unto us who believe he is precious; Christ lived for us, and for us to live is Christ; we gain all things by his death, and for us to die is gain. 

The church is the looking-glass in which Christ sees himself reflected; she is like a fair songstress taking up the refrain of Jesus’ canticles of love; while he sings, ‘My sister, my spouse,’ she answers, ‘My beloved is mine, and I am his.’

 It is most delightful to perceive how, through divine grace, believers come to have the same feeling towards their God which their gracious Lord has towards them. 

Our two texts present us with an interesting instance: 
the church is God’s portion, he delights in her, he finds in her his solace and his joy; but God is also, as the result of this,
 the church’s portion, her full delight and bliss. 
Beloved, the love is mutual.

For meditation: 

God has loved us (Malachi 1:2); how are you responding to him? With unbelief, self-justification and self-defence
 (Malachi 1:2,6–7; 2:17; 3:8,13)? 
Or with love displayed in thankful trust and obedience 
(Psalm 56:10–13; 116:1–2,12–14)?
 Are you being changed into his image 
(2 Corinthians 3:18)?
