Then in the second part of this chapter we find a description of His
exaltation and Glory. The Holy Spirit shows this marvelous theme
from His Word. He quotes from seven Psalms, that book which is one
of the most attacked in the present day. The Holy Spirit gives us a
key in these quotations how we should look for Christ in the Psalms.
What wickedness in face of such Scriptures to deny the messianic
prophecies contained in the Psalms. The Psalms quoted are the
following: "The ii; lxxxix (2 Sam. vii:14); xcvii; civ; xlv; cii and
cx." They reveal His Glory and in what His future Glory will exist.
And we shall share that exaltation with Him. We are destined to be
His Co-heirs. We shall rule with Him and shall be priests with Him.
He is higher than the angels in His resurrection Glory. He was made
a little lower than the angels that He could take us with Himself
into that place above the angels. All Glory and Praise to His Holy
Name. We worship and adore Thee, Thou Son of God, our Saviour and
Lord! What Glory awaits us! What dignity is ours! Oh, child of God,
you need just this one thing, to know Him better, to have the Holy
Spirit make Christ and the things of Christ, the future Glory more
real to your souls. Let Him do it. And soon we shall be with Him.
Lamb of God, Thy faithful promise
Says, "Behold, I quickly come;"
And our hearts, to Thine responsive,
Cry, "come, Lord, and take us home."
Oh, the rapture that awaits us
When we meet Thee in the air,
And with Thee ascend in triumph,
All Thy deepest joys to share!
A Glorious Vision.
THE Epistle to the Hebrews, this profound and blessed portion of the
Holy Scriptures, unfolds a most wonderful vision of the Person, the
Glory and the great Redemption work of our adorable Lord. The
portion of the Epistle which is the richest in this respect is the
Second Chapter. Here is a vista for the eyes of faith which is
sublime. Our Lord in His Person, in His humiliation and exaltation,
in His suffering and glory, stands out in a way which makes the
believing heart rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of Glory. What
He has accomplished for us, His present place in Glory and
intercessory work, His future and dominion over the earth, all are
mentioned by the Holy Spirit in this brief chapter. His humiliation
by incarnation is mentioned in these words "Thou madest Him a little
lower than the angels." "Forasmuch, then as the children are
partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of
the same." And He is the One "by whom are all things" (verse 10).
His suffering and death and its blessed results are given in this
chapter. "By the grace of God He should taste death for every man."
"That through death He might destroy him that had the power of
death, that is the devil." He made "reconciliation for sins of the
people."
