Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Morning Devotional For Sunday February 5, 2023 |
Morning Time: 1:14 AM PST
"The Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world." --1 John 4:14
It is a sweet thought that Jesus Christ did not come forth without His
Father's permission, authority, consent, and assistance. He was sent of the
Father, that He might be the Saviour of men. We are too apt to forget that,
while there are distinctions as to the persons in the Trinity, there are
no distinctions of honour. We too frequently ascribe the honour of our
salvation, or at least the depths of its benevolence, more to Jesus Christ than
we do the Father. This is a very great mistake. What if Jesus came? Did not His
Father send Him? If He spake wondrously, did not His Father pour grace into His
lips, that He might be an able minister of the new covenant? He who knoweth the
Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost as he should know them, never setteth
one before another in his love; he sees them at Bethlehem, at Gethsemane, and on
Calvary, all equally engaged in the work of salvation. O Christian, hast thou
put thy confidence in the Man Christ Jesus? Hast thou placed thy reliance solely
on Him? And art thou united with Him? Then believe that thou art united unto the
God of heaven. Since to the Man Christ Jesus thou art brother, and holdest
closest fellowship, thou art linked thereby with God the Eternal, and "the
Ancient of days" is thy Father and thy friend. Didst thou ever consider the
depth of love in the heart of Jehovah, when God the Father equipped His Son for
the great enterprise of mercy? If not, be this thy day's meditation. The
Father sent Him! Contemplate that subject. Think how Jesus works what the
Father wills. In the wounds of the dying Saviour see the love of the
great I AM. Let every thought of Jesus be also connected with the Eternal,
ever-blessed God, for "It pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He hath put Him to
grief."
