 WHO BETTER TO LEAN ON ?

READ!

C.H. Spurgeon

{NOTE}

C. H.  Spurgeon spent his LIFE in study of the Scriptures. It is an HONOR to be able to quote him as; 

" The Fact Catcher:"

"I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved,
       and shall go in and out, and find pasture."

John 10:9 

 
             
Jesus, the great I AM way of access to God himself. He gives to the man who comes to God by Him!!!

" THE STRENGTH OF THE EAGLE "

                               "He shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the
                  glory." 

-- Zechariah 6:13

Christ himself is the builder of his spiritual temple, and he has built
it on the mountains of his unchangeable affection, his omnipotent
grace, and his infallible truthfulness. But as it was in Solomon's
temple, so in this; the materials need making ready. There are the
"Cedars of Lebanon," but they are not framed for the building; they are
not cut down, and shaped, and made into those planks of cedar, whose
odoriferous beauty shall make glad the courts of the Lord's house in
Paradise. There are also the rough stones still in the quarry, they
must be hewn thence, and squared. All this is Christ's own work. Each
individual believer is being prepared, and polished, and made ready for
his place in the temple; but Christ's own hand performs the
preparation-work. Afflictions cannot sanctify, excepting as they are
used by him to this end. Our prayers and efforts cannot make us ready
for heaven, apart from the hand of Jesus, who fashioneth our hearts
aright.

As in the building of Solomon's temple, "there was neither hammer, nor
axe, nor any tool of iron, heard in the house," because all was brought
perfectly ready for the exact spot it was to occupy-so is it with the
temple which Jesus builds; the making ready is all done on earth. When
we reach heaven, there will be no sanctifying us there, no squaring us
with affliction, no planing us with suffering. No, we must be made meet
here-all that Christ will do beforehand; and when he has done it, we
shall be ferried by a loving hand across the stream of death, and
brought to the heavenly Jerusalem, to abide as eternal pillars in the
temple of our Lord.

"Beneath his eye and care,
The edifice shall rise, majestic, and fair. – and shine above the skies”
