DISCIPLINE OF THE SERVANT NO. 10

DISCIPLINE OF THE SERVANT NO. 10

It is very interesting to me the way the Lord allows one to be as water poured on the ground, and then as there is turning to Him, He raises up from the lowest point to the highest, as in Josiah’s reign and at other times.

^[p. 195] The greater the affection the greater the sorrow; it is the sense of bereavement which makes the sorrow so great, and yet the greater this is, the greater the consolation in the sorrow, because the greater the loss the more is the heart justified for its sorrow.

How the disciples must have felt when our Lord died! How easy it was for them to remember Him in that night! How truly His death was before them!

I have been interested in seeing how the doctrine which is distinctively Christian has been reduced to man’s mind instead of being insisted on according to its divine measure. While many begin at the beginning — know how sins are cleared, how few know even in word how SIN is cleared away, and so on as to every section of the truth.
