The scales of judgement


The scales of judgement

“Tekel; Thou art weighed in the balances,
 and art found wanting.” 
Daniel 5:27.

Suggested Further Reading: 
Psalm 62

Into those scales I must go.
 God will not take me on my profession.
 I may bring my witnesses with me; I may bring my minister and the deacons of the church to give me a character, which might be thought all-sufficient among men, but God will tolerate no subterfuge. 

Into the scales he will put me, do what I may; whatever the opinion of others may be of me, and whatever my own profession. 
And let me remember, too, that I must be altogether weighed in the scales. 

I cannot hope that God will weigh my head and pass over my heart—that because I have correct notions of doctrine, therefore he will forget that my heart is impure, or my hands guilty of iniquity. 

My all must be cast into the scales.
 Come, let me stretch my imagination, and picture myself about to be put into those scales. 

Shall I be able to walk boldly up and enter them, knowing whom I have believed, and being persuaded that the blood of Christ and his perfect righteousness shall bear me harmless through it all; or shall I be dragged with terror and dismay? Shall the angel come and say, “Thou must enter.” 

Shall I bend my knee and cry, “Oh, it is all right,”
 or shall I seek to escape? Now, thrust into the scale, 
do I see myself waiting for one solemn moment. 

My feet have touched the bottom of the scales, and there stand those everlasting weights, and now which way are they turned? Which way shall it be? Do I descend in the scale with joy and delight, being found through Jesus’ righteousness to be full weight, and so accepted; or must I rise, light, frivolous, unsound in all my fancied hopes, and kick the beam?

For meditation: 

We all ought to check our weight before God does
 (2 Corinthians 13:5). The scales of God’s judgement will show in our favour only if Jesus Christ, the Rock of Ages, is in us. 

Do you need to put on weight?

A Shepherd Secures Them



A Shepherd Secures Them

"They shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid"   
(Zephaniah 3:13).

Yesterday we thought of the afflicted and poor people whom the LORD left to be a living seed in a dead world.
 The prophet says of such that they shall not work iniquity nor speak lies. 

So that while they had neither rank nor riches to guard them, they were also quite unable to use those weapons in which the wicked place so much reliance: they could neither defend themselves by sin nor by subtlety.

What then? Would they be destroyed? By no means! 
They should both feed and rest and be not merely free from danger but even quiet from fear of evil.

 Sheep are very feeble creatures, and wolves are terrible enemies; yet at this hour sheep are more numerous than wolves, and the cause of the sheep is always winning, while the cause of the wolves is always declining. 

One day flocks of sheep will cover the plains, and not a wolf will be left. The fact is that sheep have a Shepherd, and this gives them provender, protection, and peace. 

"None" -- which means not one, whether in human or diabolical form -- "shall make them afraid." Who shall terrify the LORD's Rock when He is near? We lie down in green pastures, for Jesus Himself is food and rest to our souls.

Salvation to the uttermost




Salvation to the uttermost

“Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” 
Hebrews 7:25

Suggested Further Reading:
 Romans 8:31-34

It is pleasant to look back to Calvary’s hill, and to behold that bleeding form expiring on the tree; it is sweet, amazingly sweet, 
to pry with eyes of love between those thick olives, 
and hear the groanings of the Man who sweat great drops of blood. 

Sinner, if you ask me how Christ can save you, I tell you this—he can save you, because he did not save himself; he can save you, because he took your guilt and endured your punishment.

 There is no way of salvation apart from the satisfaction of divine justice. Either the sinner must die, or else someone must die for him. 

Sinner, Christ can save you, because, if you come to God by him, then he died for you. God has a debt against us, and he never remits that debt; he will have it paid. 

Christ pays it, and then the poor sinner goes free. 
And we are told another reason why he is able to save: 
not only because he died, 
but because he lives to make intercession for us. 

That Man who once died on the cross is alive; that Jesus who was buried in the tomb is alive. If you ask me what he is doing,
 I bid you listen. Listen, if you have ears! 
Did you not hear him, poor penitent sinner? 
Did you not hear his voice, sweeter than harpers playing on their harps? 
Did you not hear a charming voice? 
Listen! What did it say? “O my Father! Forgive…….!” 
Why, he mentioned your own name! 
“O my Father, forgive him; he knew not what he did. 

It is true he sinned against light, and knowledge, and warnings; sinned willfully and woefully; but, Father, forgive him!” Penitent, if you can listen, you will hear him praying for you. 
And that is why he is able to save.

For meditation:

 How often do you stop and think what Christ is doing for you right now, if you are a Christian (1 John 2:1)?
