Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Morning Devotional For Sunday May 9, 2021 |
Morning Time: 5:01 AM PST
"Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings." --Ephesians 1:3
All the goodness of the past, the present, and the future, Christ bestows
upon His people. In the mysterious ages of the past the Lord Jesus was His
Father's first elect, and in His election He gave us an interest, for we
were chosen in Him from before the foundation of the world. He had from all
eternity the prerogatives of Sonship, as His Father's only-begotten and
well-beloved Son, and He has, in the riches of His grace, by adoption and
regeneration, elevated us to sonship also, so that to us He has given "power to
become the sons of God." The eternal covenant, based upon suretiship and
confirmed by oath, is ours, for our strong consolation and security. In the
everlasting settlements of predestinating wisdom and omnipotent decree,
the eye of the Lord Jesus was ever fixed on us; and we may rest assured that in
the whole roll of destiny there is not a line which militates against the
interests of His redeemed. The great betrothal of the Prince of Glory is
ours, for it is to us that He is affianced, as the sacred nuptials shall ere
long declare to an assembled universe. The marvellous incarnation of the
God of heaven, with all the amazing condescension and humiliation which attended
it, is ours. The bloody sweat, the scourge, the cross, are ours for ever.
Whatever blissful consequences flow from perfect obedience, finished
atonement, resurrection, ascension, or intercession, all are ours by His own
gift. Upon His breastplate he is now bearing our names; and in His authoritative
pleadings at the throne He remembers our persons and pleads our cause. His
dominion over principalities and powers, and His absolute majesty in
heaven, He employs for the benefit of them who trust in Him. His high estate is
as much at our service as was His condition of abasement. He who gave Himself
for us in the depths of woe and death, doth not withdraw the grant now that He
is enthroned in the highest heavens.
