The Daily Word of Righteousness
Our Christian Pilgrimage, #36
And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. (Deuteronomy 8:2,3)
The wilderness of Sinai typifies the discipleship of the saint as he seeks redemption and eternal life while struggling against the love of the world, the impulses of sin, and his own lusts and rebellious self-will. The wilderness is a place of much tribulation, persecution, deception, and every other kind of problem and danger.
It is in the wilderness that we pass from being called to being called and chosen, and finally to being called, chosen, and faithful. Those who ride with Christ in that Day are "called, and chosen, and faithful."
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. (Revelation 17:14)
Canaan typifies our inheritance in Christ. First we are to enter eternal life in our spirit, our soul, and our body. As we are entering life we also are to be pressing forward into dominion over all the works of God's hands.
Our old, adamic nature is crucified with Christ and the body of sin is destroyed (Romans 6:6; 8:13).
The new, Divine nature is born and formed in us (John 1:13; Galatians 4:19).
The Father and the Son through the Spirit make Their eternal abode in our new, Divine nature. We are filled with all the fullness of God. We come to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (John 14:23; Ephesians 3:19; 4:13).
Our flesh and bone body is raised from the dead (Luke 24:39; I Corinthians 15:20).
Our flesh and bone body is covered within and without with the body of life that is created in Heaven as we sow our present body to the death of the cross (II Corinthians 5:2).
We are revealed with the Lord Jesus as part of the glory of His appearing (Colossians 3:4).
We enter our role as:
The Wife of the Lamb (Revelation 19:7).
A pillar in the Temple of God (Revelation 3:12).
A part of Emmanuel (John 17:23).
A son of God (Revelation 21:7).
The Body of Christ (I Corinthians 12:27).
A brother of Christ (Romans 8:29).
A righteous judge (I Corinthians 6:2).
A part of the new Jerusalem (Revelation 21:9,10).
A righteous king (Revelation 5:10).
A holy and compassionate priest (I Peter 2:5).
A mighty warrior (Joel 2:10; Romans 16:20; Revelation 17:14).
A restorer of paths to dwell in (Isaiah 58:12; 61:4).
We receive the nations and the farthest reaches of the earth for our eternal possession. We are coheirs with Christ (Psalms 2:8; Isaiah 53:12; Romans 8:17).
God gives us the desires of our heart (Psalms 37:4).
To be continued.
