Communion and obedience go together. "If ye love Me, keep My commandments." The Spirit has been sent here in order that, in communion, in relationship and affection, we might be in the good of the place in which He has set us. Let us not forget that obedience and communion go together.
Out of His Treasure
Faith should pierce through and see the things that are not seen. Things get their true value in another world, and faith when vivid sees them there.
The Christian has no future but glory. All he has to do is to do God's will at the moment, and the rest is all in God's hands; only we know that glory awaits us.
He tells us the place He is going to take us to—it is the Father’s house. And what makes the Father’s house of importance to the child—if he has right affections? It is that the Father is there. However feebly we may enjoy it now, when we talk of “going to heaven”, it is going to the Father.
“I will come again, and receive you unto Myself.” This is the language of affection. He dose not say, I will send for you. No, that would not satisfy the heart—”I will come.” He would not be content without having them where He is, and without coming to fetch them.
