He Maketh His Saved Ones Rich

For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. – John 3:17

When He came, He came with such wondrous blessings-pardon and peace, justification and acceptance, sanctification and honour, wisdom and righteousness-all these; and now He proclaims Himself to be our protector; His paths drop fatness; He maketh rich and addeth no sorrow; such as find Him find in Him such wealth of goodness-deep, mysterious, unknown-as far exceeds all earthly pleasure, all worldly fortune. Surely on the lowest ground we might afford Him the loftiest welcome. Even churlish Laban received Eliezer with courtesy when he saw the presents he brought-the bracelets, and the earrings, and the jewels, and should not we receive Jesus when we mark those costly gifts in His hand, the purchase of His own blood, which He freely gives to those who receive Him?

And shall we not receive Him joyfully because He comes in such a blessed spirit? He upbraideth not. He was all gentleness, meekness, grace, when here below; though of divine pedigree, the Only-begotten of the Father full of grace and truth. Should we not then receive Him with sound of the trumpet, with the psalter and harp, yea, and with joy of heart unspeakable? Let me add that the better we know Him the more joyfully we should receive Him for His own sake. Oh! I could stand here and weep to think that I do not speak better of my Lord and Master. Truly I know more of His grace and goodness than I should ever be able to tell. I trust you can say the same. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
