THIS HONOUR HAVE ALL HIS SAINTS.

 

DECEMBER 26

 

Psalm 149:9 

To execute upon them the judgment written:

this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD. 

 
What honour?
 
Of being redeemed by the blood of the lamb, out of every nation, country, people, and tongue.
 
Of being born again, not a corruptible seed, but of incorruptible; by the word of God which liveth and abideth forever.
 
Of being acknowledged as the sons of God.
 
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be, but when He shall appear we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”
 
Of being closely allied to Jesus.
 
He is not ashamed to call them brethren.
 
Of being heirs of God.
 
“If children then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ.”
 
Of being delivered from slavery to serve God in liberty; ”that being delivered out of the hands of our enemies we might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.”
 
Our being appointed to sit in judgment with Christ.
 
Know ye not that we shall judge Angels?
 
“This honour have all his Saints.”
 
Are we his Saints?
 
Do we walk as become a Saints?
 
Are we living under the influence of these great privileges?
 
Let us admire, adore, and obey.
 

Pause, my soul, adore and wonder;

Ask, “oh, why such love to me?”

Grace hath put me in the number

Of the Saviours family;

Hallelujah!

Thanks, eternal thanks to Thee.
