The cleansing of the leper

BEAUTIFUL GUATEMALA


The cleansing of the leper

“And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, 
and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his hand even to his foot, 
wheresoever the priest looketh; 
Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, 
if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, 
he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague:
 it is all turned white: he is clean.” 
Leviticus 13:12-13

Suggested Further Reading: 
Colossians 3:5-14

Sinner, if you are to be saved, Christ must do it all; but when once you have faith in Christ, then you must be washed; then must you cease from sin, and then by the Holy Spirit’s power you shall be enabled to do so.

 What was ineffective before shall become mighty enough now, through the life which God has put into you. 
The washing with water by the word, and the cleansing of yourself from dead works, shall become an effectual and mighty duty. 

You shall be made holy, and walk in white, in the purity wherewith Christ has endowed you. 
The shaving off of his hair was fitly to represent how all the old things were to pass away, and everything was to become new. 

All the white hair was to be cut off, as you read in Leviticus 14:9: “He shall shave all the hair off his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows.” 

There was not a remnant or relic left of the old state in which the hair was white; all was to be given up. 
So it is with the sinner. 

When he is once pardoned, once cleansed, then he begins to cut off the old habits, his old prides, his old joys. 
The beard on which the hoary Jew prided himself was to come off, and the eyebrows which seem to be necessary to make the countenance look decent, were all to be taken away. 

So it is with the pardoned man. 
He did nothing before, he does everything now. 
He knew that good works were of no benefit to him in his carnal state, but now he becomes so strict that he will shave off every hair of his old state. 

Not one darling lust shall be left, not one iniquity shall be spared, all must be cut away.

For meditation: 

Very soon many will be breaking their New Year’s resolutions! The Christian is already a new creation in Christ 
(2 Corinthians 5:17), a new person with a new nature. 
May God give us grace and strength to be what we are in Christ.

“What have I done?”

BEAUTIFUL GUATEMALA
“What have I done?”

“What have I done?” 
Jeremiah 8:6

Suggested Further Reading: 
2 Peter 1:3-8

What hast thou done? I hear thee reply, 
“I have done nothing to save myself; 
for that was done for me in the eternal covenant, 
from before the foundation of the world.

 I have done nothing to make a righteousness for myself, 
for Christ said, “It is finished;” 
I have done nothing to procure heaven by my merits,
 for all that Jesus did for me before I was born.”

 But say, brother, 
what hast thou done for him who died to save thy wretched soul? 
What hast thou done for his church? 
What hast thou done for the salvation of the world? 
What has thou done to promote thine own spiritual growth in grace? 
Ah! I might hit some of you that are true Christians very hard here; 
but I will leave you with your God.

 God will chastise his own children. 
I will, however, put a pointed question. 
Are there not many Christians now present who cannot recollect that they have been the means of the salvation of one soul during this year? 

Come, now; turn back. 
Have you any reason to believe that directly or indirectly you have been made the means this year of the salvation of a soul?
 I will go further. 

There are some of you who are old Christians,
 and I will ask you this question: 
Have you any reason to believe that ever since you were converted you have ever been the means of the salvation of a soul? 
It was reckoned in the East, in the times of the patriarchs, 
to be a disgrace to a woman that she had no children; 
but what disgrace it is to a Christian to have no spiritual children—to have none born unto God by his instrumentality! 
And yet there are some of you here that have been spiritually barren, 
and have never brought one convert to Christ; 
you have not one star in your crown of glory, 
and must wear a starless crown in heaven.

For meditation: 

While the self-righteous makes the fatal mistake of thinking that good deeds lead to salvation, 
the saved can make the sad mistake of forgetting that salvation is supposed to lead to good deeds (Ephesians 2:8-10).

Mary’s song



Mary’s song

‘And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 
and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.’ 
Luke 1:46–47

Suggested Further Reading: 
Matthew 2:1–12

When we meet with our kinsfolk and acquaintances, let it be our prayer to God that our communion may be not only pleasant, but profitable; that we may not merely pass away time and spend a pleasant hour, but may advance a day’s march nearer heaven, and acquire greater fitness for our eternal rest. 

Observe the sacred joy of Mary that you may imitate it. 
This is a season when all men expect us to be joyous. 
We compliment each other with the desire that we may have a ‘Merry Christmas.’ 

Some Christians who are a little squeamish, do not like the word ‘merry.’ 
It is a right good old Saxon word, having the joy of childhood and the mirth of manhood in it; it brings before one’s mind the old song of the waits, and the midnight peal of bells, the holly and the blazing log. 

This is the season when we are expected to be happy; and my heart’s desire is, that in the highest and best sense, you who are believers may be ‘merry’. 

Mary’s heart was merry within her; but here was the mark of her joy, it was all holy merriment, it was every drop of it sacred mirth. 

It was not such merriment as worldlings will revel in today and tomorrow, but such merriment as the angels have around the throne, where they sing, ‘Glory to God in the highest,’ while we sing ‘On earth peace, good will toward men.’ Such merry hearts have a continual feast. 

I want you, children of the bride-chamber, to possess today and tomorrow, and all your days, the high and consecrated bliss of Mary, that you may not only read her words, but use them for yourselves, ever experiencing their meaning: ‘My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.’

For meditation: 

The reasons why Mary’s soul magnified the Lord were—God’s might and majesty (Luke 1:49), God’s mercy (Luke 1:50) 
and God’s memory (Luke 1:54–55). Such holy mirth is good for the soul (2 Chronicles 7:10; Proverbs 15:13,15; 17:22; James 5:13) and makes for a truly ‘Merry Christmas’.

A Merry Christmas



A Merry Christmas

“And his sons went and feasted in their houses, 
every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. 
And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. 
Thus did Job continually.” 
Job 1:4-5

Suggested Further Reading: 
Nehemiah 8:9-12

The text gives a licence. 
Now, ye souls who would deny to your fellow-men all sorts of mirth, come and listen to the merry bell of this text, while it gives a licence to the righteous especially—a licence that they meet together in their houses, and eat and drink, and praise their God.

 In Cromwell’s days, the Puritans thought it an ungodly thing for men to keep Christmas. 
They, therefore, tried to put it down, and the common crier went through the street, announcing that Christmas was henceforth no more to be kept, it being a popish, 
if not a heathenish ceremony. 

Now, you do not suppose that after the crier had made the proclamation, any living Englishman took any notice of it; at least, I can scarcely imagine that any did, except to laugh at it; for it is idle thus to strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. 

Although we do not keep the fast as papists, not even as a commemorative festival, yet there is something in old associations that makes us enjoy the day in which a man may shake off the cares of business, and relax with his little ones. 

God forbid I should be such a Puritan as to proclaim the annihilation of any day of rest which falls to the lot of the labouring man. 

I wish there were half a dozen holidays in the year. 
I wish there were more opportunities for the poor to rest; though I would not have as many saint’s days as there are in Romish countries; yet, if we had but one or two more days in which the poor man’s household, and the rich man’s family might meet together, it might perhaps be better for us.

 However, I am quite certain that all the preaching in the world will not put Christmas down.

For meditation:

 Perhaps you are completely opposed to the keeping of Christmas! That is your right! But you can still benefit from the holiday and show the joy of the Lord to those who are going to be with you.
