The Forerunner and the After-Runners

This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 6:19-20

The Forerunner and the After-Runners
The Christian's hope is heavenly; therefore it is said to enter "within the veil" ("behind the veil"). Within the veil was the holiest of all, typical of the third heaven; that is, the immediate presence of God. That which was within the veil was the ark of the covenant, typical of Christ. Now Christ has entered into the immediate presence of God, and that on our behalf. He has entered as Forerunner and as High Priest. Our hope being centered in Him acts as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast. Our hope has anchored itself already in the glorified Lord Jesus. We are already anchored to the Person and the place, to whom and to which we are going. It is as though an outgoing Atlantic liner found herself securely attached to New York by an anchor pitched in New York harbor, before ever she had got clear of the English Channel!

The fact that Christ has become our Forerunner guarantees that we who are the after-runners shall reach the place where He is. And as High Priest He ever lives to carry us through. That He should be our Forerunner is amazing grace; for in the East where these customs prevail, the forerunner is a person of no consequence who clears the way for the important personage who follows after. Think of the Lord Jesus taking a place like that on our account!

F. B. Hole
And oh, what loud thanksgiving shall fill that home of love,As we survey the pathway which led to Thee above!There in the light unsullied we'll see how great Thy care,Which watched our every footstep, till we Thy rest should share.

F. G. Burkitt

Know When To Say Nothing

The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue.' Isaiah 50:4 NIV

Isaiah writes: The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.'

Let's face it;...More
