to do His will. The God who perfected His Son through
suffering to do His will, until He raised Him in triumph over
death to His own right hand—O soul! this same God is waiting
to do this same work in thee in the same power. What He
did in Christ for thee is all for the sake of what He is nozv day
by day to do in thee. All that thou hast learnt of the wonders
of His redeeming work, and His receiving thee into the Holiest,
is that thou mightest now confidently trust and expect Him to
take possession of thee and perfect His work within thee.
Oh,
let us draw nigh and enter in, in the restful, adoring assurance
that God will perfect us in every good thing.
/. Peace is rest. To know the God of peace is to enter the rest of God. And until
the soul rests in Him in Sabbath peace, God cannot do His higher, His perfect work.
2. The work of the Father and the Son for us find their completion in the work of
the Holy Spirit within us. All the objective revelation is for the sake of the subjectiue
experience, the mighty power of God working in the heart of His child what He longs to
sec. It is in what God makes us, that the power of the redemption in Christ is proved.
3. By faith. Here more than ever this must be our watchword. Faith that sees
and accepts and dwells in all God has done for us in Christ, and then counts upon His
faithfulness and power to make it all real within us in Christ through the Spirit.
4. As it was through the Spirit that God wrought that perfect work in Christ by
which fallen human nature, as He had taken it upon Himself, was redeemed and raised
up and glorified, so nothing can make us partakers of that redeeming and quickening
power but that same Spirit, truly living and working in our soul and body, in the same
manner as it did in the humanity of Christ.
