The “SHALLS” of Christ

Whoever comes to Me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in Me shall never thirst. (John 6:35 ESV)

am the bread of life(John 6:35). am the light of the world(John 8:12). am the good shepherd(John 10:14). am the true vine(John 15:1). am the resurrection and the life(John 11:25). Here is the great I AM saying what He is. And then you notice how frequently He links with that a hall The hallsof the am'sin John Gospel are tremendously impressive not always using the exact word, but in the context you will find the same conclusion. But here are some of the halls am the bread of life... he that eats this bread shall live for ever(John 6:58). am the light of the world; he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness(John 8:12). The link between what He is and ourselves is this, e that believeth on Me.What I AM shall become true of him. e that believeth on Me shall never die(John 11:26), ..shall not hunger(John 6:35), shall never wander like sheep without a shepherd, he shall have a governing, controlling reality like a shepherd in his life. hall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.What I AM shall become true. am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth on Me, though he die, yet shall he live; and whosoever lives and believes on Me shall never die.What I AM is made good when you believe.

Now it is not what we are. I am dead; He is alive. I can never be other than dead, but He as the Life can become Life in me in my death, if only I believe. I am hungry, spiritually starved; He is Bread, and I need never hunger; although I shall always hunger in myself, yet He will become the Bread to supply me. Think of it! I need never hunger, I am down there in the country, isolated, getting no fellowship, no food; I am away in some place where there is no spiritual bread, and He says, e that eats Me shall never hunger./em> Is that dependent upon where I am, what my situation and circumstances are as to available spiritual meat? No, it is Himself, not a place; it is Himself, not circumstances. But how can it be? e that believes./em>

The-Lord-Will-Provide.

God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering. Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear. § The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God. § Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy, to deliver their soul from death.

My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. § He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” § The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him.

He feeds his flock among the lilies.

Where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them. § If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

Let my beloved come to his garden and eat its pleasant fruits. § I have come to my garden, my sister, my spouse; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey. § The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. § Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. § [Be] filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Rest Of Sanctification

According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue" (2 Pet. 1:3).

It is necessary for our Father to utilize very firm means in order to separate us from the ingrained idea that sanctification is produced by our work, plus His help.

"A superficial acquaintance with God's plan leads to the view that while justification is God's work, by faith in Christ, sanctification is our work, to be performed under the influence of the gratitude we feel for the deliverance we have experienced and by the aid of the Holy Spirit. But the earnest Christian soon finds how little gratitude can supply the power. When he thinks more prayer will bring it, he finds that, indispensable as prayer is, it is not enough. Often the believer struggles hopelessly for years, until he listens to the teaching of the Spirit, as He glorifies Christ again, and reveals Christ, our Sanctification, to be appropriated by faith alone." -A.M.

"Look not upon a life of holiness as a strain and an effort, but as the natural outgrowth of the life of Christ within you. And let ever again a quiet, hopeful, gladsome faith hold itself assured that all you need for a holy life will most assuredly be given you out of the holiness of the Lord Jesus. Thus will you understand and prove what it is to abide in Christ our Sanctification. -A.M.

"Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature" (2 Pet. 1:4).
