Morning, Oct 14 Morning and Evening by Charles H. Spurgeon I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. â Philippians 3:8 Spiritual knowledge of Christ will be a personal knowledge. I cannot know Jesus through another personâs acquaintance with him. No, I must know him myself; I must know him on my own account. It will be an intelligent knowledgeâI must know him, not as the visionary dreams of him, but as the Word reveals him. I must know his natures, divine and human. I must know his officesâhis attributesâhis worksâhis shameâhis glory. I must meditate upon him until I âcomprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge.â It will be an affectionate knowledge of him; indeed, if I know him at all, I must love him. An ounce of heart knowledge is worth a ton of head learning. Our knowledge of him will be a satisfying knowledge. When I know my Saviour, my mind will be full to the brimâI shall feel that I have that which my spirit panted after. âThis is that bread whereof if a man eat he shall never hunger.â At the same time it will be an exciting knowledge; the more I know of my Beloved, the more I shall want to know. The higher I climb the loftier will be the summits which invite my eager footsteps. I shall want the more as I get the more. Like the miserâs treasure, my gold will make me covet more. To conclude; this knowledge of Christ Jesus will be a most happy one; in fact, so elevating, that sometimes it will completely bear me up above all trials, and doubts, and sorrows; and it will, while I enjoy it, make me something more than âMan that is born of woman, who is of few days, and full of troubleâ; for it will fling about me the immortality of the ever living Saviour, and gird me with the golden girdle of his eternal joy. Come, my soul, sit at Jesusâs feet and learn of him all this day. Sent from Morning & Evening app for Android:...
