I want now to take with you another kind of Advent--may I say a more delightful kind of Advent?--that is, the Advent of JESUS CHRIST Himself into the soul. "Behold, I stand at the door and knock, and if any man will hear My voice and open the door, I will come in to him and sup with him, and he with Me." It seems at first sight too good to be true, when you think who JESUS CHRIST was--the LORD of Angels, the SON of GOD, the supreme Captain of the heavenly host, the most perfect beautiful Character that ever lived--that He is going Himself to come. Think of it--that He is going to come within me, within you, to live there, to dominate your consciousness, dominate your mind, your life, so that you will speak with His words, think with His thoughts, judge with His judgment; that He will live in you. It seems almost too much to believe; and yet this is precisely the thing which, when we study the New Testament, we find is promised, not only in this passage, but in St. John's Gospel. "My FATHER and I, We will come unto him and make Our abode with him." St. Paul's favourite motto is: "CHRIST in you the hope of glory." CHRIST in you, through the HOLY SPIRIT. He, of course, brings JESUS with Him. It is said in St. John's Gospel: "He is with you, but He shall be _in_ you." And when I speak to a number of Confirmation candidates, I believe it is perfectly true to say before the Confirmation: "He is _with_ you, but He shall be _in_ you." For that is the great gift of Confirmation, the falling of the HOLY GHOST. "Then laid they their hands on them, and the HOLY GHOST came upon them, for as yet He had fallen on none of them."
