The Holiest of All By Andrew Murray

connected with our Lord s coming in their bearing upon our
daily life. So will our efforts for helping and saving others all
be under the power of the thought of how short the time is, how
terrible the fate of those who perish, and how urgent the call for
everyone who knows redeeming love to do its work with all his
might. In the Holiest of All we hear the voice of warning, and
come out to save ere it be too late.
1. Note the intensely practical character of the gospel. Our section (19-25) is only one sen
tence. It begins with spiritual, heavenly mysteries ; it ends in the plainest rules for our conduct
to our fellow-men.
Let us be sure that the deeper we enter into the perfection-teaching of chap,
vii.-x. the fitter we shall be to be a blessing in the world.
2. When Christ spoke His farewell discourse to His disciples one of the things He pressed
most urgently was that they should love one another. He loves all His redeemed ones, however
feeble or perverse they be, so intently, that He tells us that we cannot prove our real love to Him
in any other way than by loving them ; the proof of a real entrance into the Holiest of All, the
humility and gentleness and self-sacrifice with which we speak and think and prove our care of
one another.
3. Study carefully the connection between these last twelve meditations, and see to get a clear
hold of the unity of thought in this portion, the living centre of the Epistle.
