up to the death, how we should learn to
know Him in His mighty quickening power. Instead of the
life with something of God, but far more of man, He who led
Abraham would bring us to the place of death, where He
would give us the assurance that henceforth His almighty
power would do all, and we should find our blessedness in
being nothing and allowing God to be our life.
Christian ! Abraham offered up Isaac, accounting that
God is able to raise him up, even from the dead. Take the
place of death trust God who raises the
; dead, and gives life in
death ;
believe and thou shalt see the glory of God.
1. The highest manifestation of God s power is the raising of Christ from
the dead.
The highest exercise of faith by Christ was in death He committed His Spirit into the
Father s hands. The highest exercise of faith in a believer the daily surrender of the life
God has giuen us to death, in the faith that He will quicken it each moment by His indwelling
Spirit.
2. Before Isaac s birth Abraham had nothing to lean upon but the promise. After it
he was in danger of leaning on Isaac: therefore, Isaac had to be given up. All gifts of
God received in faith may become our trust, and must be giuen up to Him in a higher
faith.
3. Our whole life every day, every moment, is to be the work of Almighty God within
us by His holy Spirit.
