The Lord of Glory: Meditations on the person, the work and glory of our Lord Jesus Christ

And this blessed One, the beloved Son of God is denied, He is
rejected, dishonored and refused. God speaks in Him, by Him, and he
who has made known God, in whom redemption for man was procured is
dishonored. But how is He dishonored and robbed of His Glory? And
where is He dishonored? Not in the world as such so much but in
Christendom. The harvest of this destructive and evil criticism of
the Bible, rejecting the Bible as the inspired Word of God is being
reaped. After the written Word has been attacked and lowered the
enemy who stands behind "Higher Criticism" in a disguised form has
thrown off the mask and bluntly strikes at the Person of the beloved
Son of God. First the devil in the garb of "reverend criticism"
denied Isaiah vii:14, the promise of the virgin bringing forth a
son, as having anything to do with Christ, and now the harvest, the
denial of the virgin birth of our Lord. It would take many pages to
mention all how our ever beloved Lord is robbed of His Glory, how
His Person is dishonored. This denial of the Person of Christ is the
apostasy. It is the very breath of the personal antichrist, the man
of sin, which we feel in these last days.
The Father's voice is not heard in these days as it was heard on the
transfiguration mountain. The heavens are silent to all the dishonor
heaped upon Him, who is in the heaven of heavens. But God the Father
looks to His people in whom the Holy Spirit dwells to honor and
glorify His Son. The Holy Spirit gives us the power to stand as bold
witnesses for Himself and to contend earnestly for the faith once
and for all delivered unto the Saints. The Father expects us that we
stand up for the honor of His Son. His voice to us is "_Honor my
Son!_"
We feel deeply impressed with this great call of God to us at the
present time of increasing darkness and apostasy. Let each child of
God act accordingly. Honor your Lord wherever you are. "Be thou not
ashamed of the testimony of our Lord" (2 Tim. i:8). If you cannot
publicly stand up and honor Christ then honor Him, speak well of
Him, in the home circle or wherever you are. O child of God, walk
close to Him! Sit more at His feet! Cast yourself more upon Him! Let
Him be your all in all! And as He is the sole object of your heart
you will honor Him in the day when He is rejected.
