THE LORD IN GLORY

THE LORD IN GLORY

It is of the deepest importance that you should be acquainted with the Lord in glory individually, otherwise you will not apprehend Him in the assembly. I do not say that you do not learn there, but unless you are acquainted with Him in glory, and know your acceptance there through Him, you cannot recognise Him as Son over God’s house.

I am sure any true-hearted christian, young or old, would say, Well, I would like to know Christ in glory. It does not say in heaven - glory is a condition - glory is the expression of God’s satisfaction, according to all His attributes resting upon the Man who glorified Him. Are you acquainted with Him there? If you are attached to Him where you are, you seek His company where He is.

Nothing satisfies love but company. He is not here, but you have received the Spirit from Him glorified, you can reach Him there.

The first effect of this acquaintance is that you are occupied with His things according to the glory of God, and the second - “are transformed”. This is the effect of this acquaintance.

I trust each one of you will own the deep importance of being acquainted with Christ in glory in all its blessed effects.
