Real Estate in Heaven

"Knowing in yourselves that ye have in Heaven a better and an enduring
substance" (Hebrews 10:34).

This is well. Our substance here is very unsubstantial; there is no substance
in it. But God has given us a promise of real estate in the gloryland, and that
promise comes to our hearts with such full assurance of its certainty that we
know in ourselves that we have an enduring substance there. Yes, "we have" it
even now. They say, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," but we have
our bird in the bush and in the hand, too. Heaven is even now our own. We have
the title deed of it, we have the earnest of it, we have the firstfruits of it.
We have heaven in price, in promise, and in principle; this we know not only by
the hearing of the ear but "in ourselves." Should not the thought of the better
substance on the other side of Jordan reconcile us to present losses? Our
spending money we may lose, but our treasure is safe. We have lost the shadows,
but the substance remains, for our Savior lives, and the place which He has
prepared for us abides. There is a better land, a better substance, a better
promise; and all this comes to us by a better covenant; wherefore, let us be in
better spirits, and say unto the LORD, "Every day will I bless thee; and praise
thy name for ever and ever."

"Walk in love." Eph. 5. 2; Rom. 12. 10, 15

1 Lord, we fain would walk in love, But, alas! how slow we move;
Pride, that haughty monster, pride, Often makes us start aside.

2 Lamb of God, thy power make known; Sweetly draw, and we will run;
Make our love to thee and thine
Like the sun at noon-day shine.

3 As the purchase of thy blood,
May we seek each other's good;
And be it our great concern,
Thee to view, of thee to learn.

4 May we mourn with those that mourn; Make each other's cause our own;
Ever keeping this in mind,
We are to each other joined.

5 Flesh of flesh, and bone of bone, With the King of glory one;
Of one body each a part,
Jesus, make us one in heart.

6 King of kings, enthroned above,
Come and shed abroad thy love;
Fill us with that source of joy,
Which can never, never cloy.
