My Daily Meditation For The Circling Year by John Henry Jowett

NOVEMBER The Third THE LORD'S OWN

JOHN xv.11-25.

The |Lord's own| possess the Lord's love. |I have loved you.| And love is not a beautiful sentiment, a passive rainbow stretched over the realm of human life. It is a glorious, active energy, infinitely more powerful than electricity, and always besieging the gates of the soul, or ministering to its manifold needs. Love is the greatest force in the world.

And the |Lord's own| are taken into the inner circle of intimacy, where the deepest secrets dwell. We are not kept on the door-step, or left standing in the hall, or limited to one or two |public rooms|; we are privileged to enter the King's privacy, and be nourished at the King's table, and listen to the King's table-talk concerning |all things| which He has heard of the Father. We have |the glorious liberty of the children of God.|

And the |Lord's own| will experience the world's hatred. |Therefore the world hateth you.| Our very friendship with the Lord pronounces judgment on the world, and its hostility is aroused. If we are |partakers of the glory| we shall most assuredly be |partakers of the sufferings of Christ.|
