Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Evening Devotional For Monday February 27, 2017 |
Evening Time: 9:57 PM PST
"Whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." --Micah 5:2
The Lord Jesus had goings forth for His people as their representative
before the throne, long before they appeared upon the stage of time. It was
"from everlasting" that He signed the compact with His Father, that He would pay
blood for blood, suffering for suffering, agony for agony, and death for death,
in the behalf of His people; it was "from everlasting" that He gave Himself up
without a murmuring word. That from the crown of His head to the sole of His
foot He might sweat great drops of blood, that He might be spit upon, pierced,
mocked, rent asunder, and crushed beneath the pains of death. His goings forth
as our Surety were from everlasting. Pause, my soul, and wonder! Thou hast
goings forth in the person of Jesus "from everlasting." Not only when thou wast
born into the world did Christ love thee, but His delights were with the sons of
men before there were any sons of men. Often did He think of them; from
everlasting to everlasting He had set His affection upon them. What! my soul,
has He been so long about thy salvation, and will not He accomplish it? Has he
from everlasting been going forth to save me, and will He lose me now? What! has
He carried me in His hand, as His precious jewel, and will He now let me slip
from between His fingers? Did he choose me before the mountains were brought
forth, or the channels of the deep were digged, and will He reject me now?
Impossible! I am sure He would not have loved me so long if He had not been a
changeless Lover. If He could grow weary of me, He would have been tired of me
long before now. If He had not loved me with a love as deep as hell, and as
strong as death, He would have turned from me long ago. Oh, joy above all joys,
to know that I am His everlasting and inalienable inheritance, given to Him by
His Father or ever the earth was! Everlasting love shall be the pillow for my
head this night.
