Objective and subjective Christ is to us

1
Objective and subjective Christ is to us,
In heaven He’s pleading objectively thus;
Subjectively now in His members He lives
And inwardly to them His being He gives.
2
In heaven He sits at the right hand of God,
Where as the High Priest He presented His blood;
Our Advocate, bearing our burdens above,
Our Surety, He careth for us in His love.
3
He now is the Spirit, our spirit within;
He’s there as our life, all things bringing with Him;
He’s there as our strength and our grace every hour,
Our Paraclete in us, sustaining with pow’r.
4
In heaven for us He’s the glorified man,
The Forerunner entered, fulfilling God’s plan;
Man into God bringing and making him one
With God in the heav’nlies, in Him as the Son.
5
In us all the fulness of God dwells in Him;
As Spirit He brings God Himself thus within,
Revealing and making God real unto us,
God one with us building in life glorious.
6
The Savior ascended in heaven now dwells,
And soon He’s returning for us His Word tells;
Deliverer indwelling, He now in us lives,
And soon will transfigure, His glory to give.
7
The day soon is coming when heaven and earth
Will mingle in one in that city of worth;
Objective and subjective will in that day
Be mingled within us in glory for aye.

This hymn became subjective to my spirit this morning! Just imagine the reality of being glorified with Christ in the mingling of the spirit and in the New Jerusalem. This should motivate us be overcoming saints, Halleluia!

Such a rich hymn! I’ve been dwelling on it deeply, and am seeing the objective and subjective work of Christ more clearly than ever.

Hallelujah, what love our Father has for us, and what grace is bestowed on us through Christ’s finished work and what fellowship through the subjective work of His Spirit.

We need Christ on the throne in heaven highly exalted & interceding for us, our Advocate, High Priest, our Surety. We need a Man on the throne completing His heavenly ministry. But we also need the indwelling Christ as our life day by day as the Spirit making God so real to us.

The day is coming when heaven & earth will mingle in one in that city of worth; objective & subjective will in that day be mingled within us in glory for aye.

Rich hymn.
