Having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. John 13:1
OH 13:1{"He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." How true is the type, both as to each individual temple of the Holy Ghost, and "all the building that groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord"; "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, his hands shall also finish it"—"His own house, whose house are we." Our Lord Jesus Christ endorses it in the very amen of His great prayer, "I have declared unto them Thy name, and will declare it." Only let us simply receive and believe what He shows us and tells us, and then to every Nathanael who comes to Him, He will say, "Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these." Then we shall have, personally and indeed, "showers of blessing.”
Unto him that hath, Thou givest
Ever "more abundantly.”
Lord, I live because Thou livest,
Therefore give more life to me;
Therefore speed me in the race;
Therefore let me grow in grace.
