Happy day!


It was a happy day when the foundation of the earth was laid, for then the morning stars sang together for joy. (Job 38:6-7)

It was a happy day when Adam and Eve first beheld this fair creation, and sang their earliest praise to its great Maker.

It was a joyous night when the shepherds heard the angels announce the birth of the Babe of Bethlehem. (Luke 2:8-14)

It was a happy morn when the women who visited the sepulchre heard angels say, “The Lord is risen.” (Matthew 28:1-8)

But no day nor night has yet been seen as happy as that last day shall be, when the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion singing, and crowned with everlasting joy. (Isaiah 51:11)

Of all the happy multitude then assembled, not one will feel so vast a tide of happiness springing up in his soul as the Lord Himself as He will be the fountain of all the joy flowing in every heart.

Then He will see all that is accomplished by His anguish, and be satisfied; satisfied that He left His throne of glory; satisfied that He trod this sorrowful earth; satisfied that He bled upon the cross; satisfied that He loved us, and freed us from our sins by shedding His own blood.

It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Psalms 110:1 NKJV The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ——————— Part of this prophecy has already been fulfilled. Christ is now sitting at the right hand of God; but He has not yet come to put His enemies under His feet. They who once rejected Him, O with what dismay shall they behold the Son of God when He appears in His glory! “See, He is coming in the clouds and every eye shall see Him, even those who pierced Him, and his coming will mean bitter sorrow to every tribe upon the earth. So let it be!” ( Revelation 1:7 ) Bitter sorrow to everyone who rejected Him! It was not only the Jews who said, “We do not want this man to reign over us;” it was not only the Romans who pierced Him with a spear; there are many in Christian lands who have crucified Him all over again and have trampled Him underfoot. ( Hebrews 6:6 ; 10:29 ) All who do not love Him are His enemies, and shall be put under His feet. It is a dreadful thing to fall into th...

For what is man?

May the Lord give us grace not to be afraid of mere humans, who whither like the grass and disappear; but to fear Him who stretched out the skies and laid the foundations of the earth, even Him who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead, and will raise us also, if we believe in Him. For what is man, and what his smile? The terror of his anger, what? Like grass he flourishes a while, But soon his place shall know him not. Thro’ fear of such an one shall I The Lord of Heav’n and earth deny?

The agony of those who shall be thrown out of the kingdom of God

There will be wailing and grinding of teeth there, when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrown out. ( Luke 13:28 NEB'70 ) ——————— It must be very agonizing for those Jews who will be shut out of the kingdom of God. They will see their own ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and their own prophets, sit at table in the kingdom of God. It must be very hard to them not to be joining their own kindred. And will it not be hard to many other ungodly people, when they see a father, or mother, a brother, or sister, take their places at the banquet table in the kingdom of God, and they themselves thrown out! On earth they were always welcome at their father's table, but even a godly father can do nothing to gain admittance for an unconverted child into the presence of God. The anguish of those unbelieving Jews shall be intensified when they see Gentiles, whom they regarded with contempt, flocking from all over the world, in...
