EXTRACT – “WALK IN LOVE”
This shows us the idea of the way of life: "walk in love", not simply when you are in the meeting; it is a question of walking in it. A person who walks in love has his foot dipped in oil; he has a peculiar kind of walk. "Looking upon Jesus as he walked" – that is the pattern, that is the walk. "Walk in love". Christ was for God's pleasure, and as we walk in His footsteps we are for God's pleasure, and no greater privilege can be ours. It is given to us to be here in this world, where Christ has been, where the apostles have been, for God's pleasure. It is a responsibility too, so do not put it away from you. It has been seen in men of like passions with ourselves. We have the Spirit of God; we have the example of Christ, the example of the apostles. "Fix your eyes on those walking thus", says the apostle, "as you have us for a model", Phil.3:17. Remember the apostles, remember Paul; in them we see the reflection of the walk and ways of the Lord Jesus Christ. May He give us in these days to be in His hand, and to remain in His hand; for as we remain there the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in us. His work shall be promoted in us, and thus we shall be for His pleasure here.
