Preparing for the Higher School, April 6
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my
salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
Psalm 25:5
.
Those who in this earth become sons of God sit together with Christ
in the preparatory school, getting ready to be received into the higher
school. Day by day we are to make an individual preparation; for in the
courts above no one will be represented by proxy. Each one must heed
for himself the call, “Come unto me,... and I will give you rest....”
The Lord Jesus has paid your tuition fees. All that you have to do is to
learn of Him. The Christlike politeness practiced in the higher school is
to be practiced in this lower school, by both old and young believers. All
who learn in Christ’s school are under the training of heavenly agencies;
and they are never to forget that they are a spectacle to the world, to angels,
and to men.
They are to represent Christ. They are to help one another to become
worthy of admission into the higher school. They are to help one another
to be pure and noble, and to cherish a true idea of what it means to be a
child of God. They are to speak encouraging words. They are to lift up
the feeble hands and strengthen the feeble knees. Upon every heart there
is to be inscribed the words, as with the point of a diamond, “There is
nothing that I fear, save that I shall not know my duty, or shall fail to do
it”....
A self-controlled spirit, words of love and tenderness, honor the
Saviour. Those who speak kind, loving words, words that make for
peace, will be richly rewarded.... We are to let His spirit shine forth in the
meekness and lowliness learned of Him.
Jesus is the great Teacher.... He is so willing, so ready to take you into
a closer fellowship with Himself. He is willing to teach you how to pray
with the believing confidence and assurance of a little child.... Enroll your
name anew as a student in His school. Learn to pray in faith. Receive the
knowledge of Jesus....
Will you not sit at the feet of Jesus and learn of Him?
