Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Evening Devotional For Monday January 23, 2023 |
Evening Time: 6:31 PM PST
"We will remember Thy love more than wine." --Song of Solomon 1:4
Jesus will not let His people forget His love. If all the love they have
enjoyed should be forgotten, He will visit them with fresh love. "Do you forget
my cross?" says He, "I will cause you to remember it; for at My table I will
manifest Myself anew to you. Do you forget what I did for you in the
council-chamber of eternity? I will remind you of it, for you shall need a
counsellor, and shall find Me ready at your call." Mothers do not let their
children forget them. If the boy has gone to Australia, and does not write home,
his mother writes--"Has John forgotten his mother?" Then there comes back a
sweet epistle, which proves that the gentle reminder was not in vain. So is it
with Jesus, He says to us, "Remember Me," and our response is, "We will remember
Thy love." We will remember Thy love and its matchless history. It is
ancient as the glory which Thou hadst with the Father before the world was. We
remember, O Jesus, Thine eternal love when Thou didst become our Surety, and
espouse us as Thy betrothed. We remember the love which suggested the sacrifice
of Thyself, the love which, until the fulness of time, mused over that
sacrifice, and long for the hour whereof in the volume of the book it was
written of Thee, "Lo, I come." We remember Thy love, O Jesus as it was manifest
to us in Thy holy life, from the manger of Bethlehem to the garden of
Gethsemane. We track Thee from the cradle to the grave--for every word and deed
of Thine was love--and we rejoice in Thy love, which death did not exhaust; Thy
love which shone resplendent in Thy resurrection. We remember that burning fire
of love which will never let Thee hold Thy peace until Thy chosen ones be all
safely housed, until Zion be glorified, and Jerusalem settled on her everlasting
foundations of light and love in heaven.
