THE VISION FOR 1941,
The Contemplation of Eternal Triumph.
1 Tkn. 6:15 and 16, with Psalm 45.
T. WOODS, Elland.
THE great Apostle of the Gentiles was facing a
situation which Was threatening. The clouds were
already darkening the horizon. Timothy was somewhat afraid. Many of the saints were turning back. A
departure from the faith had already begun. Things in
the natural were anything but promising.
Paul directs Timothy's vision to a Potentate Who
exercises exclusive and complete sway, a King Who
rules over every existing monarchy, a Lord Who is fully
and finally supreme—JESUS THE CHRIST.
To enjoy any amount of spiritual success and
ascendancy in these last days we must have the vision
of the Eternal Dignity of the Lord Jesus. There is
something that backgrounds the cross. His human
limit suffered the full shock of eternal judgment for the
"whosoever." It is the Man Christ Jesus Who brings
us to God. But let us remember that He was in the
beginning with God, acknowledged as Lord by cherub
and seraphim, existing with God in blessed equality.
After His death and resurrection, He holds these
glorious attributes in His double nature, as Man and
as God.
He is the only One Who possesses immortality,
dwelling in the light that no man can approach, far
removed from the realm of human power and reason.
What amazing majesty and dignity! What resplendent
jlory and power! Though unseen, though hidden in
the near Presence of Jehovah, yet we can taste the
benefits of the Person of our glorious Saviour King.
There are possibilities of us being raised to this
dignified order, and tasting some of the powers and
joys of this exalted position (Eph. 2: 6, Heb. 6: 5).
The Holy Ghost will take of the things that are Christ's
and reveal them unto us (1 Cor. 2: 9-12).
While the world rumbles heavily on, and great
apprehension lead's the ,peoples to despair, the Holy
Ghost seeks to lead us into further truth concerning
the King Invisible, Immortal.
There are glorious possibilities of us rising in these
last days to this place of exalted fellowship. God wants
us to live in the Throne Room. We need to view the
situation as it really is. The world may lie in tine
pleasure-laden lap of the enemy, but he that believeth
that Jesus is the Son of God overcomes the world
(1 John 5: 4).
This vision of triumph has its first realisation in
the heart. Psalm 45: 1 is the Psalm of Kingly Majesty.
The Psalmist commences with the words, "My heart."
Everything depends on the condition of our hearts.
The previous psalm is full of despair. God seems to
have hidden away. Now there is a change. It is not
Jehovah Who has changed; the change is in the experience of the Psalmist. He is experiencing an inward
warming of the heart. The literal meaning is "My
heart boileth, or bubbleth." This is our need in the
present hour of hate and malice. Whilst the heathen
rage and the people imagine vain things, may we seek
for the warming of ortir hearts, the perfect Love flooding
us, wanning us with Heaven's affection. This will
bring revelation.
There was once an old woman whom everybody
despised. God warmed her heart, and a burning love
for the children around her was born. She gathered
them together, and told them the simple story of the
Love of Jesus. They stayed on and listened until the
mothers, anxious about their welfare, came to seek
them. They too, were constrained to stay, and eventually the husbands came to seek their families, and the
result was a lovely revival, 150 accepted the Saviour.
May God give us warm heartsl Maybe we have
substituted clever expositions for this priceless heritage.
May the refining fire touch our hearts again. May the
warm glow of the King's Love burn anew, until this
cold and bitter age knows something of the Dying. Love
of Calvary's Lamb.
