DISCIPLINE OF THE SERVANT NO. 8

DISCIPLINE OF THE SERVANT NO. 8

I have been dwelling much lately on “the body is the Lord’s”. It is marvellous grace that He should first bear all the judgment that lay upon it and then make it the temple of the Holy Ghost, to be here for Himself, and as here to be with Him in the kingdom to reign with Him. There is then the discipline to help us, and the discipline to correct us. Jacob was corrected at Shechem, but he was helped at Bethel. We who live are alway delivered unto death — this is help. The suffering in Hebrews 11 was for righteousness, but we are thereby made “partakers of His holiness”. There is no expression of light from us greater than the light in us. As the light increases, the check, or the stone before the wheel is removed. As J.N.D. has said, we cannot die ourselves, but as we bear about in our bodies the dying of Jesus, God rolls in death to help us. It is deeply interesting to understand His treatment! The Lord bless you much. It is very happy to turn to the Lord for you.
