Morning and Evening

March 26, Evening

C. H. Spurgeon · Modern retelling

"When He cometh in the glory of His Father with the holy angels." — Mark 8:38 · KJV

If we have shared with Jesus in His shame, we shall share with Him in the splendor that will surround Him when He appears again in glory. Are you, beloved, with Christ Jesus? Does a vital union knit you to Him? Then you are today with Him in His shame; you have taken up His cross and gone with Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach; you shall doubtless be with Him when the cross is exchanged for the crown. But judge yourself this evening; for if you are not with Him in the regeneration, neither shall you be with Him when He comes in His glory. If you shrink from the dark side of communion, you shall not know its bright and happy season, when the King shall come, and all His holy angels with Him. What — are angels with Him? And yet He took not up angels; He took up the seed of Abraham. Are the holy angels with Him? Come, my soul, if you are indeed His own beloved, you cannot be far from Him. If His friends and neighbors are called together to see His glory, what shall be your place if you are married to Him? Shall you be distant? Though it be a day of judgment, you cannot be far from that heart which, having admitted angels into intimacy, has admitted you into union. Has He not said to you, O my soul, "I will betroth thee unto Me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness"? Have not His own lips said it: "I am married unto thee, and My delight is in thee"? If the angels, who are but friends and neighbors, shall be with Him, it is abundantly certain that His own beloved bride, in whom is all His delight, shall be near Him, and sit at His right hand. Here is a morning star of hope for you, of such exceeding brightness that it may well light up the darkest and most desolate experience.
