Resurrection Power

THE measure of the power available to every believer of the gospel is indicated in these words: “That ye may know . . . what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.” This is the abundant provision made to insure victory in the warfare against sin. The resurrection of Jesus is an accomplished fact. “This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.” His resurrection is the pledge and the proof of the power of the gospel. “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection.” Let no one fail or be discouraged. “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.”

Waiting and Watching

“LET your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; and ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching.” “And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”

“O Jesus, my loving Redeemer, Thou knowest I cherish as dear The hope that mine eyes shall behold thee, That I shall thine own welcome hear! If to some as a Judge thou appearest, Who forth from thy presence would flee, A Friend most beloved I’ll greet thee, I’m waiting and watching for thee.”
