The Glory That’s Unsurpassed
By Oswald Chambers
“… the Lord Jesus…has sent me that you may receive your sight …” — Acts 9:17
When Paul received his sight, he also
received spiritual insight into the Person of Jesus Christ.
His
entire life and preaching from that point on were totally consumed with nothing
but Jesus Christ— “For I determined not
to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2).
Paul never again allowed anything to
attract and hold the attention of his mind and soul except the face of Jesus Christ.
We
must learn to maintain a strong degree of character in our lives, even to the
level that has been revealed in our vision of Jesus Christ.
The
lasting characteristic of a spiritual man is the ability to understand
correctly the meaning of the Lord Jesus Christ in his life, and the ability to
explain the purposes of God to others.
The overruling passion of his life is
Jesus Christ.
Whenever you see this quality in a
person, you get the feeling that he is truly a man after God’s own heart (see Acts 13:22).
Never
allow anything to divert you from your insight into Jesus Christ.
It is the true test of whether you
are spiritual or not. To be unspiritual means that other things have a growing
fascination for you.
Since mine eyes have looked on Jesus,
I’ve lost sight of all beside,
So enchained my spirit’s vision,
Gazing on the Crucified.
I’ve lost sight of all beside,
So enchained my spirit’s vision,
Gazing on the Crucified.
WISDOM FROM
OSWALD CHAMBERS
Am I getting nobler, better, more
helpful, more humble, as I get older? Am I exhibiting the life that men take
knowledge of as having been with Jesus, or am I getting more self-assertive,
more deliberately determined to have my own way? It is a great thing to tell
yourself the truth.
The Place of Help
The Place of Help
“Shut out every
other consideration and keep yourself before God for this one thing only — My
Utmost for His Highest. I am determined to be absolutely and entirely for Him
and for Him alone.” OSWALD
CHAMBERS
Oswald
Chambers was born in Scotland and spent much
of his boyhood there. His ministry of teaching and preaching took him for a
time to the United States and Japan. The last six years of his life were spent
as principal of the Bible Training College in London, and as a chaplain to
British Commonwealth troops in Egypt during World War l. After his death, the
books which bear his name were compiled by his wife from her own verbatim
shorthand notes of his talks.
