- Hi,
-
- Surely we may look at the Church as a great ship, moored to the heavenly port; the deep sea, the Red Sea of Scripture, crossed over, and also the Jordan, the river beside the land. Seats for every believer in the great assembly are on the other side, in the land flowing with milk and honey.
- No one has entered into the full work of the Lord Jesus until he has sat down on his own seat at the Passover feast, at and after Gilgal. We are born of God for these seats; but we take a long time individually until we have, as it were, sense enough to see that the seats is heaven are ours now, and that each one always had his own. We are like born princes; only very gradually do we comprehend the greatness of our royal position.
- The first great step in our spiritual history is that the Lord Jesus has triumphed gloriously, and that we are not only sage from judgment by His Blood, but that through His resurrection and ascension we are at the other side of judgment; we are in a new region, even in righteousness and life.
- Our dignity is thus breaking in on us; we have got some sense now of our position. Very often we do not advance very rapidly from this. It has been said that a child learns more the first five years of life than during the following twenty. Be that as it may, there is more rapid growth to rest of conscience, even peace, than there is to the other stages, and to the full apprehension of the Father’s calling.
- The next step is that I learn that there is not only sin in me (Rom 6), but that there is no good in me (Rom 7). I abandon myself now for the Lord Jesus: “Not I, but Christ lives in me”: “The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.” I know my princely position now; that it is one really heavenly.
