The fully consecrated soul has not only to resist the temptations to positive sin, but must manifest its victory in the patient endurance of physical ills and the trials of life; and that apostolic note of triumph is also a word of guidance, 'This is the victory which overcometh ... even your faith'. Human nature, even with the best of us, is a marvellous combination.
"To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His throne." Oh, what a wonderful promise! We could never have thought of it; we could never have believed it; we could never even have dreamt of such a thing, if the Master had not told us Himself. And then he concluded by asking us to remember our glorious future.
In each of these the keyword of His message is not to the unconverted, but to the Church Repent! All the glorious promises which each of these Epistles contain, down to the last one, with its "Open the door and I will come in"; "He that overcometh shall sit with Me on My throne," are dependent on that one word Repent!
You know the Bible verse: 'He that overcometh himself is greater than he that taketh a city." "Can't say as to that; but I've taken in the town, after having failed to overcome," said Blake with bitter humor. "Tom! You must not speak of your defeats. They are past and of the Past. You must not even think of them. Have you ever been baptized?" "Baptized?
Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. Vs. 12-17.
Reddened Viridis again; but Atra spake, and she also blushed somewhat, though she smiled: Those whom we love, and who love us, be not queans, but carles; neither be they of our blood, but aliens, till love overcometh them and causeth them to long to be of one flesh with us; and their longing is beyond measure, and they desire our bodies, which they deem far fairer than belike they be.
Your memory may bring to you the words that came to mine, the promise 'to him that overcometh, and the beauty of the lips that made it: the encouragement to 'patient continuance in well doing, 'till the day break, and the shadows flee away. And there, on the other hand, was the substituted light of earth's wisdom and inventions, dominant yet, but waning, and soon to be put out for ever."
Whilst others may be saying, 'We know thy poverty', he hears the Lord say, 'But thou art rich'. Christ has been revealed to him as a living Friend, and though by the outward eye he sees Him not, 'yet believing, he rejoices with joy unspeakable and full of glory'. Do you remember what John said about that white stone which will be given to him that overcometh?
And highest of all, beyond which there is no bliss conceivable, 'To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in My throne. Christ is the bestower of the royalties of the heavens as of the redemptions of earth, and it is His to give that which we crave at His hands, when we ask pardon here and glory hereafter.
With thy country be it even as with mine. To the one of us twain that overcometh shall the whole belong, people and land." But Hagen and Gernot answered him back straightway. "We desire not," said Gernot, "to win new kingdoms at the cost of dead heroes. Our land is rich, and we are the rightful lords. The folk desire none better." Grim and angered stood Gunther's kinsmen.
