Wed, 05 October

“He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me is not worthy of me” (Matt. 10.37,38).

Within a period of forty years God appeared to Abraham ten times. At every appearance He revealed a new secret of divine friendship, in fact, these appearances can be regarded as ten steps of divine friendship. We have already seen in chapter 12 how God appeared twice to Abraham. The third time God commanded Abraham to leave the country and go to a new country, but God did not tell Lot to go with Abraham. Only because of human sympathy Abraham agreed to take Lot with him. But after awhile there came a strife between Lot’s servants and Abraham’s (Gen 13:7 ). Human affections always lead to strife, and we must remember that every affection must be sanctified by the Lord Jesus, whether it be affection for husband, wife, children, parents, brothers, sisters or relations. Unless it is sanctified, it will one day bring trouble.

The Lord Jesus Christ said in John 15 of those who believe in Him, ‘I have not called you servants but I have called you friends’ because He wants to give us all the things which He received from His Father. As we begin to grow spiritually we will enjoy our friendship with our Lord Jesus Christ and will talk to Him very freely, and tell him all our secrets, and He will also talk to us lovingly and show us many new things day by day. We are reminded is Matt 11:25 that the things that are hid from the wise and prudent are revealed to babes.
