OUR CALLING

OUR CALLING

We had, thank the Lord, a good time at Q————. I trust that there is an awakening up to the fact that there is more than the gospel. That while the gospel embraces all that we as sinners need; nay, so abounds that we are placed in divine festivity in the Father’s house — everything done for us that could be done; yet there is more. We are not only children of the Father (this we have in the gospel), but we are brought to share in the position of the Son. We are united to Christ; we are members of His body — the exalted Man. I do hope saints and servants are awakening to this the first circle of interest in the heart of Christ. If our hearts were with Him in heaven we should soon know that His heart is on the earth in His assembly, in the saints “in whom is all my delight”. No one could realise union with Christ except over Jordan, and no one could be over Jordan in man’s life. The fact is, if the true calling were in any degree known, Christ as our life would be known.

I spoke on life and light — If we be dead with him, we shall also live with him. Himself is the light, and if you do not keep to the source of light, though you may have seen many things, you are not in the power of the light. The Morning Star is the light, not merely a prophecy. It is Himself, as the light, and your soul knows it.
