Today's reading: Numbers 10:18-36

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
2 Corinthians 5:17-18

"In Christ". How significant this short expression is! It reveals concisely the believer's wonderful position before God. God regards all who have taken refuge in the Lord Jesus Christ with their sins, putting their faith in Him as "in Christ". He sees them in His estimation of the preciousness of Christ.
The position into which believers have been brought through the grace of God on the ground of Jesus Christ's work of redemption is indeed wonderful and perfect. When God looks upon one of His children, He sees Christ, as it were: we are wholly in Him.
Nothing can be added to the perfection of this position of the believer; nor is there any distinction in it among believers: all are "complete in him" . This is exceedingly great. How it should spur us on to see that our walk in this world corresponds to this position in practice! In this way, we shall glorify our beloved Lord.
Knowing this glorious position gives the faithful Christian great joy and spiritual profit. He is given strength to serve the Lord devotedly. If our faithfulness diminishes, our hearts will grow cold; then it can easily happen that we "boast in appearance and not in heart" (v.12) regarding our position. The grace that brought this privilege about is disregarded and we lose much blessing as a result. For this reason, the reminder that "all things are of God" in our text for today is so important.

FALSE PROPHETS AND THEIR PROPHECIES-FOOLISH PROPHETS

The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying: Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say unto them that prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow after their own spirit, and have seen nothing!...More

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

FOR CHRIST'S SAKE DON'T!

A negative change is generally abhorred by men. Everyone craves progress. We always desire to keep ascending the ladder of success. No one wants to make a u-turn in the journey of greatness. The greatest journey whose end has the greatest significance is the journey to Heaven. This journey is only made in Jesus...More
