The Ever Glorious Mediator -Christ Jesus the LORD



"I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day." -ISAIAH 27:3 [KJV]
 
The Lord Jesus Christ, who lives at God's right hand, has to send down supplies of His grace continually to keep your soul alive unto Himself. Without this life being kept up and maintained by these continual supplies of His grace, you cannot pray, or read, or hear the word, or meditate with any feeling or profit. You cannot love the Lord and His blessed ways; you cannot submit to His righteous dealings; or hear the rod and Him who appointed it. You may approach His throne, but your heart is cold, clouded, and unfeeling; your spirit sinks under the weight and burden of the trials and difficulties that are spread in your path; nor are you able to do anything that satisfies yourself, or that you think can satisfy God.
 
By these painful but profitable lessons, you are experimentally taught that you want the life of Christ as well as the death of Christ, the resurrection of Christ as much as the crucifixion of Christ; Christ as an ever-living, ever-gracious, ever-glorious Mediator, to send down supplies of His love and power into your soul, as much as you needed Him to die upon the cross for your redemption.

-Gospel report by preacher J.C. Philpot (1802-1869 A.D.)
