A WORD IN SEASON TO THE WEARY

December 12🕯️🕯️🕯️

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world… I am the way, the truth, and the life…” (John 8:12; 14:6).

Just as the high priest had two stones, Urim and Thummim, to find God’s will, there are two stones possessed by the Lord Jesus Christ also (Psa. 43:3-5). The Lord Jesus Christ is our life, our light and our truth (John 8:12; 14:6). When He comes into us as our Saviour He becomes The TRUTH and the living WORD. That is why, at our new birth we have unusual hunger for God’s Word. Though we read it daily, we never get tired of it. Before our conversion we loved to read magazines, novels and worldly books. Now we want the Word of God in the morning, at midday and in the evening. Unless we have the living Saviour in us we cannot enjoy God’s Word. Holiness becomes real to us after we experience the Lord Jesus Christ. God’s plan and will are revealed to us day by day, by reading the Word of God slowly, systematically and prayerfully. The Lord Jesus Christ is our life. We say by faith, “Lord Jesus, open my eyes, give me Thy divine life and let me see things more clearly.” With the help of His divine life and the Word of God we are able to find God’s will even for small things. That is the greatest privilege of a believer; knowing and doing God’s will.

The whole life of the Lord Jesus Christ was lived in doing God’s will (John 4:34; 5:30; 6:38). If we want to enjoy His love and affection and come near His heart, then we must learn to know and do His will. It is only by doing God’s will we can enjoy His presence. Just as the high priest carried these stones, Urim and Thummim, and could find God’s will for individuals, for families and for the whole nation, now we believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is our Urim and Thummim. The Lord Jesus Christ Who has come into our heart is our heavenly High Priest, our life and our truth.

So by receiving God’s Word into our hearts and by receiving divine life by faith, He becomes all in all to us.
