'Lo! we have left all and followed thee, said Peter; 'fathers, mothers, wives, children, houses, lands, and even our own lives also. It is a great price to pay, but we buy Heaven with it!" "Yee, we do," said Brother Thomas Scattergood, devoutly. "To him that overcometh shall the great prize be given."
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
'For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood.
The Force of Faith "The Victory that Overcometh" Fear and Faith Faith for the Future Some talk so hard about duty they have no strength left for deeds. When a good man gets down in the dirt some one is sure to stumble over him. Many a man who would make a first-class lighthouse is wasting his life trying to be a fog-horn. The mournful saint works a good deal more harm than the cheerful sinner.
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."
But that which ye have, hold fast till I come," REVEL. ii: 24 and 25. And then it is said; "and he that overcometh and keeps my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And will I give him the morning star," REVEL. ii: 26, 27 and 28.
To him that overcometh and endureth unto the end will God give the morning-star: The gift of the morning-star! Have I God's gift Of the morning-star? And Luigi will adventure forth it may be in a kind of divine folly as a doomsman commissioned by God to free his Italy. The devotion of Luria to Florence is partly of the imagination, and perhaps it is touched with something of illusion.
Do we not read that it is He who says, 'Come, ye blessed of My Father, enter into the kingdom prepared for you'? Do we not read that the apostle, dying, solaced himself with the thought that 'there was laid up for him a crown of glory, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, would give him at that day'? And do we not read in the very last book of Scripture, written by one of those two brothers, and containing almost verbal reference to the words of my text, the promise seven times spoken from the immortal lips of the glorified Son of Man, walking in the midst of the candlesticks, 'To him that overcometh will I give'? The fruit of the tree of life is plucked by His hands for the wearied conquerors.
We must strive, for the promise is to him that overcometh; but though our aim be even higher than is that of others, we cannot in the end fail to reach it. The victory of the Cross is ours. You know that? You believe that?" "Yes" I answered, softly, too surprised to say more.
On the one side the tempter points to wealth and position, which may often be won, as Jeroboam won it, by unscrupulousness; and on the other side stands the Son of God, who, though rejected and crucified, was nevertheless the Victor over sin, and who now from His heavenly throne exclaims, "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."
