In View of That Day
Your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Phil. 1:5-6
Paul reminds the saints of three times: “the first day;” “now” and “the day of Jesus Christ.” This sums up the whole of the believer’s experience. The first day for the Philippians was recorded in Acts 16--the day when the gospel message reached their city and their hearts. What about our first day in Christ? It was a happy one indeed! And what about now? Have we grown in knowledge of Christ? We should have. That takes us forward to the day of Jesus Christ. What will we have to show for Him on that day? --Reg. L. Jordan
Oh happy day that fixed my choice on Thee my Saviour and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice and tell its raptures all abroad. --P. D.
