"The kindness and
love of God our Savior."
Titus 3:4
Titus 3:4
How
sweet it is to behold the Savior communing with His own beloved people! There
can be nothing more delightful than, by the Divine Spirit, to be led into this
fertile field of delight. Let the mind for an instant consider the history of
the Redeemer's love, and a thousand enchanting acts of affection will suggest
themselves, all of which have had for their design the weaving of the heart
into Christ, and the intertwisting of the thoughts and emotions of the renewed
soul with the mind of Jesus. When we meditate upon this amazing love, and
behold the all-glorious Kinsman of the Church endowing her with all His ancient
wealth, our souls may well faint for joy.
Who
is he that can endure such a weight of love? That partial sense of it which the
Holy Spirit is sometimes pleased to afford, is more than the soul can contain;
how transporting must be a complete view of it! When the soul shall have
understanding to discern all the Savior’s gifts, wisdom wherewith to estimate them,
and time in which to meditate upon them, such as the world to come will afford
us, we shall then commune with Jesus in a nearer manner than at present.
But
who can imagine the sweetness of such fellowship? It must be one of the things
which have not entered into the heart of man, but which God hath prepared for
them that love Him. Oh, to burst open the door of our Joseph's granaries, and
see the plenty which He hath stored up for us!
This
will overwhelm us with love. By faith we see, as in a glass darkly, the
reflected image of His unbounded treasures, but when we shall actually see the
heavenly things themselves, with our own eyes, how deep will be the stream of
fellowship in which our soul shall bathe itself! Till then our loudest sonnets
shall be reserved for our loving benefactor, Jesus Christ our Lord, whose love
to us is wonderful, passing the love of women.
God
bless,
