Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Evening Devotional For Saturday June 15, 2019 |
Evening Time: 6:30 PM PST
"He openeth, and no man shutteth." --Revelation 3:7
Jesus is the keeper of the gates of paradise and before every believing soul
He setteth an open door, which no man or devil shall be able to close against
it. What joy it will be to find that faith in Him is the golden key to the
everlasting doors. My soul, dost thou carry this key in thy bosom, or art thou
trusting to some deceitful pick-lock, which will fail thee at last? Hear this
parable of the preacher, and remember it. The great King has made a banquet, and
He has proclaimed to all the world that none shall enter but those who bring
with them the fairest flower that blooms. The spirits of men advance to the gate
by thousands, and they bring each one the flower which he esteems the queen of
the garden; but in crowds they are driven from the royal presence, and enter not
into the festive halls. Some bear in their hand the deadly nightshade of
superstition, or the flaunting poppies of Rome, or the hemlock of self-
righteousness, but these are not dear to the King, the bearers are shut out of
the pearly gates. My soul, hast thou gathered the rose of Sharon? Dost thou wear
the lily of the valley in thy bosom constantly? If so, when thou comest up to
the gates of heaven thou wilt know its value, for thou hast only to show this
choicest of flowers, and the Porter will open: not for a moment will He deny
thee admission, for to that rose the Porter openeth ever. Thou shalt find thy
way with the rose of Sharon in thy hand up to the throne of God Himself, for
heaven itself possesses nothing that excels its radiant beauty, and of all the
flowers that bloom in paradise there is none that can rival the lily of the
valley. My soul, get Calvary's blood-red rose into thy hand by faith, by love
wear it, by communion preserve it, by daily watchfulness make it thine all in
all, and thou shalt be blessed beyond all bliss, happy beyond a dream. Jesus, be
mine for ever, my God, my heaven, my all.
