Always First in Fellowship

[Christ4Ever]

He goeth before you into Gailee; there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. (Mark 16:7)​

Where He appointed to meet His disciples, there He would be in due time. Jesus keeps His trust. If He promises to meet us at the mercy seat, or in public worship, or in the ordinances, we may depend upon it that He will be there. We may wickedly stay away from the appointed meeting place, but He never does. He says, “Where two or three are met together in my name, there am I”; He says not, “There will I be,” but, “I am there already.”

Jesus is always first in fellowship: “He goeth before you.” His heart is with His people, His delight is in them, He is never slow to meet them. In all fellowship He goeth before us.

But He reveals Himself to those who come after Him: “There shall ye see him.” Joyful sight! We care not to see the greatest of mere men, but to see Him is to be filled with joy and peace. And we shall see Him, for He promises Himself to them. Rest assured that it will be so, for He does everything according to His word of promise: “As he said unto you. Catch at those last words, and be assured that to the end He will do for you “as he said unto you.”

I love me some Spurgeon. I wish it were possible to have a recording of the man speak. It's too bad they didn't have those type things then. I need to get some more of his sermons. They always, always, always reach deep into my soul and bring the Truth of God's Word to place in it.

When a man speaks and you can say something like that, you know he loves God and God lives within him.

I believe I have seen readings of his sermons that can be downloaded. Maybe I should do a book on Spurgeon once I get into a rhythm.

They always say you learn more when you teach than simply studying, so maybe the book will teach me in that way.

"There shall ye see him." Joyful sight!

Boy does that make me want even more to see the Son of man coming on the clouds in great glory!!!
