2 Corinthians 11:22 Are they Israelites? so am I. We have here A PERSONAL CLAIM, and one that needs proof. The apostle knew that His claim was indisputable, but there are many persons who have no right to the title who yet claim to belong to the Israel of God. If we are with confidence declaring, "So am I also an Israelite," let us only say it after having searched our heart as in the presence of God. But if we can give proof that we are following Jesus, if we can from the
heart say, "I trust Him wholly, trust Him only, trust Him simply, trust Him now,
and trust Him ever," then the position which the saints of God hold belongs to
us-all their enjoyments are our possessions; we may be the very least in Israel,
"less than the least of all saints," yet since the mercies of God belong to the
saints AS SAINTS, and not as advanced saints, or well-taught saints, we may put
in our plea, and say, "Are they Israelites? so am I; therefore the promises are
mine, grace is mine, glory will be mine." The claim, rightfull y made, is one
which will yield untold comfort.
When God's people are rejoicing that they are His, what a happiness if they
can say, "So AM I!" When they speak of being pardoned, and justified, and
accepted in the Beloved, how joyful to respond, "Through the grace of God, SO AM
I." But this claim not only has its enjoyments and privileges, but also its
conditions and duties. We must share with God's people in cloud as well as in
sunshine.
When we hear them spoken of with contempt and ridicule for being
Christians, we must come boldly forward and say, "So am I." When we see them
working for Christ, giving their time, their talent, their whole heart to Jesus,
we must be able to say, "So do I." O let us prove our gratitude by our devotion,
and live as those who, having claimed a privilege, are willing to take the
responsibility connected with
it.

Titus 3:4 The kindness and love of God our Saviour. How sweet it is to behold the Saviour communing with His own beloved people! There can be nothing more delightful than, by the Divine Spirit, to be led into this fertile field of delight. Let the mind for an instant consider the history of the Redeemer's love, and a thousand enchanting acts of affection will suggest themselves, all of which have had for their design the weaving of the heart into Christ, and the intertwisting of the thoughts and emotions of the renewed soul with the mind of Jesus. When we meditate upon this amazing love, and behold the all-glorious Kinsman of the Church endowing her with all His ancient wealth, our souls may well faint for joy. Who is he that can endure such a weight of love? That partial sense of it which the Holy Spirit is sometimes pleased to afford, is more than the soul can contain; how transporting must be a complete view of it! When the soul shall have understanding to discern all the Saviour's gifts,
wisdom wherewith t o estimate them, and time in which to meditate upon them,
such as the world to come will afford us, we shall then commune with Jesus in a
nearer manner than at present. But who can imagine the sweetness of such
fellowship? It must be one of the things which have not entered into the heart
of man, but which God hath prepared for them that love Him. Oh, to burst open
the door of our Joseph's granaries, and see the plenty which He hath stored up
for us! This will overwhelm us with love.
By faith we see, as in a glass darkly, the reflected image of His unbounded
treasures, but when we shall actually see the heavenly things themselves, with
our own eyes, how deep will be the stream of fellowship in which our soul shall
bathe itself! Till then our loudest sonnets shall be reserved for our loving
benefactor, Jesus Christ our Lord, whose love to us is wonderful, passing the
love of women. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mailing List Jesus-Net Ministry Indonesia - JNM - Daftar : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Keluar : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Posting: jesus-net@yahoogroups.com JNM Mailing list are managed by : Indonesian Pentecostal Revival Fellowship (IPRF) Denver, USA (or GPdI Denver) If you have any comment or suggestion about this mailing list, to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] or If you want to contact IPRF Denver USA, to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Site : http://www.iprf.us -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
