Holy brethren, partakers of the
heavenly calling, consider Jesus, who is faithful to Him that
appointed Him, as a Son over His house. Yield yourself to
Him as His house, and trust His faithfulness to do His work.
And, remember, as the Epistle teaches us the spiritual meaning
of the external symbols of the Old Testament, that we must
not seek their fulfilment again in other external things, however
much we conceive of them as infinitely higher and greater, but
in that inward spiritual experience which comes when Jesus
dwells in us as His house. It is as the Indwelling Saviour that
He does His work, whether it be Prophet, Priest, or King.
Whose house we are.
1. Faithful to God. This Is the spirit of Qod s house, the mark of being of His household.
It was so with Moses the servant. It was so with Christ the Son. It must be so through the
whole household. Be it so with us: Faithful to God.
2. Whose house we are. Not like a house of stone and wood, in which the indmeller
has no liuing connection with it. No, Christ dwells in us as a life within a life, inspiring
us with His own temper and disposition. Our moral and spiritual being, our power of willing
and living and acting, within these He comes and dwells in us a divine, hidden, but mighty
power and operation.
3. Faithful as Son over His house. But He must be Master in His own house. Not
only an honoured guest, while thou hast the keys and the care. So it is with many Christians.
So It may not be. No, glue Him the keys ; glue Him entire control over the whole being : as
Son over His house. He will blessedly prove how faithful He is to God and to thee.
4. Consider well the faithfulness of Christ : this will work in thee the fulness of faith.
