Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Evening Devotional For Thursday April 25, 2019 |
Evening Time: 11:20 PM PST
"If any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him."
--Revelation 3:20
What is your desire this evening? Is it set upon heavenly things? Do you long
to enjoy the high doctrine of eternal love? Do you desire liberty in very close
communion with God? Do you aspire to know the heights, and depths, and lengths,
and breadths? Then you must draw near to Jesus; you must get a clear sight of
Him in His preciousness and completeness: you must view Him in His work, in His
offices, in His person. He who understands Christ, receives an anointing from
the Holy One, by which He knows all things. Christ is the great master-key of
all the chambers of God: there is no treasure-house of God which will not open
and yield up all its wealth to the soul that lives near to Jesus. Are you
saying, "O that He would dwell in my bosom "Would that He would make my heart
His dwelling-place for ever"? Open the door, beloved, and He will come into your
souls. He has long been knocking, and all with this object, that He may sup with
you, and you with Him. He sups with you because you find the house or the
heart, and you with Him because He brings the provision. He could not sup
with you if it were not in your heart, you finding the house; nor could you sup
with Him, for you have a bare cupboard, if He did not bring provision with Him.
Fling wide, then, the portals of your soul. He will come with that love which
you long to feel; He will come with that joy into which you cannot work your
poor depressed spirit; He will bring the peace which now you have not; He will
come with His flagons of wine and sweet apples of love, and cheer you till you
have no other sickness but that of "love o'erpowering, love divine." Only open
the door to Him, drive out His enemies, give Him the keys of your heart, and He
will dwell there for ever. Oh, wondrous love, that brings such a guest to dwell
in such a heart!
