Vol 05 - "The Supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ."

"The Supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ."

Exodus 30:32-38; Proverbs 27:9; Ezekiel 23:41; Song of Solomon 1:3.

"THE Spirit of Christ," the anointing of grace, The oil and its fatness descending― The gladness come down from the heavenly place With " garments of praise " never-ending. The nature, another creation bestowed, Revealing its beauty and weakness, The rose and the lily adorning the road In holy dependence and meekness. The body on earth " full of light " on its way, The aloes and cassia pouring, That perfume which telleth what tongue cannot say, While upwards the heart is adoring.

Expressing Himself in the pathway of love, " In His room" who is absent in glory; The voice of the turtle, the heart of the dove, Displaying the Lonely One’s story. The “flour of the offering the Spirit bore on, In manhood all-spotless to heaven (Leviticus 2:1-16), Now joined into one (from the scene where He’s gone) “The eighth day " told out in " the seven."

“The Spirit of Jesus," the inner delight The " life more abundantly " giveth, " Spiced wine " of the pomegranate hidden from sight - The fruit His beloved receiveth ( Php 1:2). The joy of the life that delighted to do That " will " whose decree consecrateth The Isaac-Rejoicer whose spirit could view His " pearl "―ere the earth was created. (Proverbs 8:1-36;

Matthew 13:16). That Father that saw in His " Joseph" below (Like gems by the ocean surrounded), A Treasure that man could not value nor know, By angels in glory unsounded (Isaiah 42:1). And yet―like that River " divided in four "― When down into time it descended― The Life was expressed as it carried the store Of wealth whence the spices were blended. And now " Jesus Christ " from His glory supplies His Spirit in fullness of blessing, The power to shine and the power to rise, His garment and person possessing (Romans 15:13; Romans 15:16; Romans 15:29) The Living One bid where the spices are stored " One pearl " there completing the story: The oil that on Adam could never be poured Displaying " the Christ" in the glory.

“The Holy One " set in the heavenly place, "The feast-offering " is the dispenser Of joy to the praise of the glory of grace With measureless spice from the censer
(Hebrews 9:13-14; Leviticus 3:1-17; Leviticus 16:12-13).
