The Fullness of His Person

“Believed on in the world." On the simple ground of faith going out to sinners of the Gentiles, to us who were far off and through this blessed One, God has confided to our hearts the mystery of godliness and the mystery of the Church. We have Christ before us in all His preciousness, the One who has come from glory and was received up into glory.
This heavenly Stranger, our Lord Jesus Christ, appeared among us "full of grace and truth," in order to lead our hearts into the knowledge of His God as our God, and His Father as our Father. He has given His own Spirit to us, and our place is the house of God, the assembly of the living God, and the pillar and ground of the truth. We have the truth committed to us, "God manifest in the flesh," in all the blessedness of His own Person.
May the Lord have full worship from our hearts when we come together. While we are musing, may the fire of divine love burn, being touched, as it were, with a coal from the altar. May it burn that we might more fully worship the Father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, in Spirit and in truth.
