THE TREASURES OF THE LORD'S HOUSE

THE TREASURES OF THE LORD’S HOUSE

I am glad that you are relieved as to —————. How varied are the demands on each of us, and the very variety, as ^[p. 212] we walk with the Lord, makes known the greatness of His resources, as dear Mr. Wigram used to say — It is not habit which we are learning but life; and the life of Christ is equal to everything!

It is a wonderful thing to be in the Lord’s hands, and still greater to know Him as Head. I think holding Him as Head is the first sense of union. I wish you both would be so interested in the treasures of the Lord’s house that you would search for them in the word, and thus not only gain much yourselves but be able to help many. I feel much how little we have learned of the house of God — what it is to the Lord, and what it is to us. My impression is, that if I were in the truth of the house of God, I should come from it like Psalm 84; and that if I were in the knowledge of the mystery, as in Ephesians, I should bring His heavenly grace into every circle ordered of God here on the earth, withstanding all the power and opposition of Satan. Thus the house and the body would be the centre of practical blessing to me.

The Spirit’s work now is in us, leading us into all that has been done for us; and the more truly any one is a servant of Christ the more is he in company with the Spirit, seeking and labouring and praying that saints may grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
