"And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house." - Isaiah 22:4
And who is this but Jesus, the true Eliakim and Governor of heaven and
earth? Jesus sweetly explained it himself, when declaring himself
possessing the key of David. Rev. iii. 7. And hath not God the Father
literally given all things into his hands? Is there anything which
Jehovah hath kept back? Hath it not pleased the Father, that in him
should all fulness dwell? Is not Jesus the head over all things to the
church, which is his body? Is he not the Almighty Lord and Treasurer of
all things - grace here, glory hereafter? And is not our Jesus the
administrator of all things in the world, both of providence and grace?
My soul, is there aught remaining to hang upon Jesus? Pause, hast thou
hung upon him all the glory of thy salvation? Pause again, my soul. Is
all and every title given? Is there aught kept back? Is there any Achan
in the camp of thine heart? Forbid it, Lord. See to it, my soul, (for
it is thy life,) that thou art "hanging all the glory of the Father's
house upon Jesus?" Make him not only the Alpha, but the Omega also of
thy salvation. And as the Father loveth the Son, and hath given all
things into his hands; so do thou come to him for all things, receive
from him all things, and ascribe to him all things, in the receipt of
grace here, and glory hereafter - that Christ may be all, and in all, to
the glory of God the Father. Amen.
