THE HOLIEST

THE HOLIEST

The idea of the Holiest is that God is towards us as He is toward Christ. We are loved with the same love. The proper privilege of the assembly is realised when Christ is known in the midst. Christianity is not simply that God has come out, but that we go in with Christ into the place whence the light has come — the Father’s presence. Christianity is a most wonderful thing if you really get the idea of it; the more we realise the place that Christ has taken up as Man, the more we are filled with reverence and the more tenacious we shall be of the glory of His Person. It is a wonderful thing to find out that we are objects of God’s love. It is this which calls out worship.

^[p. 302] The discipline of the Lord comes in to help the work of the Spirit. The Lord breaks down in us all that which opposes, and He helps us in that way. How much do we know about the discipline and admonition of the Lord? The Lord does not discipline us in circumstances, but in our bodies. The body is the Lord’s, so the Lord deals with the body, so He tells Peter in John 21: “Thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and bring thee where thou dost not desire”.
