Spurgeon's Morning & Evening
For the Morning of June 18th
"Thy Redeemer." --Isaiah 54:5
esus, the Redeemer, is altogether ours and ours for ever.
All the offices of Christ are held on our behalf. He is king
for us, priest for us, and prophet for us. Whenever we read a
new title of the Redeemer, let us appropriate Him as ours under
that name as much as under any other. The shepherd's staff, the
father's rod, the captain's sword, the priest's mitre, the
prince's sceptre, the prophet's mantle, all are ours. Jesus hath
no dignity which He will not employ for our exaltation, and no
prerogative which He will not exercise for our defence. His
fulness of Godhead is our unfailing, inexhaustible
treasure-house.
His manhood also, which he took upon him for us, is ours in all its perfection. To us our gracious Lord communicates the spotless virtue of a stainless character; to us he gives the meritorious efficacy of a devoted life; on us he bestows the reward procured by obedient submission and incessant service. He makes the unsullied garment of his life our covering beauty; the glittering virtues of his character our ornaments and jewels; and the superhuman meekness of his death our boast and glory. He bequeaths us his manger, from which to learn how God came down to man; and his Cross to teach us how man may go up to God. All His thoughts, emotions, actions, utterances, miracles, and intercessions, were for us. He trod the road of sorrow on our behalf, and hath made over to us as his heavenly legacy the full results of all the labours of his life. He is now as much ours as heretofore; and he blushes not to acknowledge himself "our Lord Jesus Christ," though he is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords. Christ everywhere and every way is our Christ, for ever and ever most richly to enjoy. O my soul, by the power of the Holy Spirit! call him this morning, "thy Redeemer."
