Till He Come SAMPLE

Swooning and Reviving Christ’s Feet
a blessed sense, fall at His feet as dead.
For, first, here we see provision for the removal of our sin, and
we are thus reminded of it. Here is the bread broken because we
have broken God’s law, and must have been broken for ever had
there not been a bruised Savior. In this wine we see the token
of the blood with which we must be cleansed, or else be foul
things to be cast away into the burnings of Tophet, because
abominable in the sight of God. Inasmuch as we have before us
the memorial of the atonement for sin, it reminds us of our
death in sin in which we should still have remained but for that:
grace which spoke us into life and salvation.
Are you growing great? Be little again as you see that you are
nothing but slaves that have been ransomed. “God’s freed-men”
is still your true rank. Are you beginning to think that, because
you are sanctified; you have the less need of daily cleansing?
Hear that word, “If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we
have fellowship one with another,” yet even then “the blood of
Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanseth us from all sin.” We sin even
when in the highest and divinest fellowship, and need still the
cleansing blood. How this humbles us before the Lord! We are
to be winners of sinners, and yet we ourselves are sinners still,
needing as truly the Bread of life as those to whom we serve it
out.
Ah! and some of us have been very special sinners; and
therefore, if we love much, it is because we have had much
forgiven. We have erred since we knew the Savior, and that is a
kind of sinnership which is exceedingly grievous; we have sinned
since we have entered into the highest state of spiritual joy, and
have been with Him on the holy mount, and have beheld His
glory! This breeds a holy shamefacedness. We may well fall at
Jesus’ feet, though He only reveals Himself in bread and wine,
