Lord Jesus, when Thee face to face I see, When on Thy lofty throne I sit with Thee, Then of Thy love, in all its breadth and length, Its height and depth, its everlasting strength, My soul shall sing.
The Love of God is indeed greater far and hard to comprehend. Psalms 103 Tells us of this very kind of Love our Saviour brought to us. Again Isaiah 55 gives us the depths of who God really is. No wonder his ways are not ours and his thoughts are above us as high as the heavens!
As the indwelling Spirit,
strengthening us
(through the divine dispensing)
into the inner man
The life-giving Spirit, the compound Spirit, the all-inclusive Spirit, is the indwelling Spirit, strengthening us (through the divine dispensing) into our inner man that Christ may make His home in our hearts, that we may be full of strength to apprehend with all the saints what the breadth and length and height and depth are, that we may be filled unto all the fullness of God, which is the church (Eph. 3:16-19). In Ephesians 3:16 Paul prayed that God would strengthen us through His Spirit into our inner man. To live in the outer man does not require us to do anything. Every morning when we rise up, we are in the outer man. If we are not watchful, we will be in the outer man the whole day. We talk in the outer man, we laugh in the outer man, we express our attitude in the outer man — we do everything in the outer man. We are just an outer man. But we should live in the inner man. However, this can take place only by our entering into our inner man. According to Ephesians 3:16, the way to enter into the inner man is by the strengthening of the Spirit. The Spirit strengthens us into the inner man.
When we have morning watch and experience a morning revival, we are in the inner man. Before that time we might have wanted to argue with someone in the outer man, but after ten minutes we were in the inner man by being strengthened through the Spirit. However, ten minutes later, we might be back in the outer man. At that point we need to pray. This is why the Bible tells us to pray unceasingly (1 Thes. 5:17). Only prayer and calling on the name of the Lord can strengthen us into the inner man and keep us in the inner man. This kind of strengthening is also a dispensing. It dispenses the divine element into our being and strengthens us into the inner man that Christ may make His home in our hearts. Christ is in our spirit, but He needs to spread from our spirit into our hearts to make His home there that we may be full of strength to apprehend with all the saints what the breadth and length and height and depth are, that is, the dimensions of Christ. We need to know this unlimited Christ that we may be filled unto all the fullness of God. The fullness here simply means the manifestation, the expression, of God, which is the church. The church is the expression of God. When Christ makes His home in our hearts, we will be able to know His dimensions. Then we will be filled unto all the fullness of God. This is altogether by the inner dispensing of the Spirit. First, the Spirit strengthens us into the inner man; then the Spirit strengthens us so that Christ may make His home in our being, making us the expression of God, that God may be fully expressed.
The Central Line of
the Divine Revelation
Message 11 (LSM)
It is important to know many things in the Bible are beyond our ability to understand, but we can still experience them. The love of God is certainly one of these things. It is meant to be experienced. We live by faith in this loving God.
This hymn was written by Mary Shekleton. It was written in the mid 1800’s and has passed the test of time. Mary was an invalid and house bound. She did not let this stop her. She started a ministry with others with the same restrictions. This was all done by correspondence. I find this to be inspiring in its self. I’m sure this hymn about her desire to be filled with the love of God strikes a chord with many. “I am an empty vessel not one thought or look of love to thee I’ve ever brought, but I may come and come again to thee with this the empty sinners only plee thou loves me”. These are powerful words!
Lovely, the song most of us struggled to sing yesterday after the breaking of bread meeting. So I searched for this so I practice singing it well. I have shared with my children so we can practice together.
What a revelation!
But though I cannot sing, or tell, or know
The fulness of Thy love, while here below,
My empty vessel I may freely bring;
O Thou, who art of love the living spring,
My vessel fill.
Ephesians 3:8 speaks of the unsearchable riches. All the day long I kept waiting to feel or sense these riches. But to be unsearchable means without trace, beyond comprehension. We cannot simply find these riches in feelings or mind. We just need to receive by faith and enjoy in our mingled spirit.
Hallelujah it passes knowledge, so may we freely bring our empty vessels to be filled.
I love this song even if I am only nine it’s so sweet and I love the Lord and I also love the tune and when I first heard this song I loved and kept in singing it and now it is stuck in my head. I bet my hole family will love this song because my family is Christian hope all of you love this song too!
We can choose three hymns from our hymnal to illustrate what we mean by the standard of the hymns—#70, #154, and #152. These hymns are concerning our love for the Lord and His love for us. The standard of hymn #70—"Oh, how I love Jesus"—is very low in life, truth, experience, and revelation. Hymn #154—"It passeth knowledge, that dear love of Thine"—is of a much higher standard. The first verse of this hymn says:
It passeth knowledge, that dear love of Thine,
My Savior, Jesus; yet this soul of mine
Would of Thy love in all its breadth and length,
Its height and depth, its everlasting strength,
Know more and more.
After introducing the focus in the Lord's table meeting, we may sense that the spirit of the meeting is not strong enough. In this case we need to strengthen it. Hymns, #154, "It passeth knowledge, that dear love of Thine," may be considered a strengthening hymn concerning the Lord's love. To choose a hymn such as #171, "Lord Jesus Christ, our heart feels sweet/ Whene'er we think on Thee," would not be appropriate, because it turns from the Lord's love to the Lord Himself. It is more suitable to serve as a concluding hymn, which is not for uplifting the spirit but for drawing the meeting to an end.
Not only does a meeting have sections, but a hymn also has its sections. Hymns, #154 may be divided into three sections. Stanzas I through 3 are the first section, stanzas 4 through 6 are the second, and stanza 7 is the third. Another example is hymn #128 in the Chinese hymnal, which can be sung in at least four sections: stanzas 1 through 4 as the introduction, stanzas 5 through 8 as a strengthening section, stanzas 9 through 11 as a section lifting up the spirit, and stanzas 12 and 13 as a concluding section. When the phrases are different, the feeling is also different, just as the Lord addressed the Father in different ways with different significances. In Matthew 11 He addressed God as "Father" because at that time the Lord was rejected by the world (vv. 20-25). Father indicates the intimate relationship between the Lord and the Father. In John 17 He addressed God as "Holy Father" (v. 11) because He was asking the Father to sanctify the church so that it would not belong to the world. In Matthew 27:46 the Lord addressed God as "My God" because on the cross the Lord took the place of sinners (1 Pet. 3:18) and thus could pray not to the Father but only to God.
Some hymns may be in the same category and of the same subject but have a different feeling. Every hymn has its feeling. For example, "It passeth knowledge, that dear love of Thine" (Hymns, #154) is a hymn for remembering the Lord and has the Lord's love as its subject. The feeling of this hymn is fine, sweet, and tender. The feeling of other hymns may not be as fine as this one, even though their subject is the Lord's love. Some hymns have a fine feeling and are also poetic. Other hymns, however, may not be poetic. In learning the hymns, we need to know their categories and subject so that we can further distinguish them according to their feeling.
