As he had laid his head upon Christ's bosom, so had he laid all his thoughts and all the emotions of his mind upon the heart's love and divine affection of his Lord and Master but Christ was gone; it was no more possible to hear his voice, to see him with eyes, or to handle him with hands, yet John had not lost his fellowship, though he knew him no more after the flesh, yet he knew him after a nobler sort. Nor was his fellowship less real, less close, less sweet, or less divine, than it had been when he had walked and talked with him, and had been privileged to eat and drink with him at that last sacred feast.
We, too, have sometimes an occasion to make as solemn an affirmation as he has done. There are certain sectaries who exalt the form of their church government into a sine qua non of piety, and they say of us that it is impossible that we should have a fellowship with Christ, because we follow not after them. Because we reject not the ministry which God has appointed, to take up with some newly-devised scheme, by which everyone is to instruct his brother, forsooth therefore we have not the fellowship which is reserved for their sect and party.
We have been led, when they have spoken very bitterly, to question ourselves; but after deep searchings of heart, in reply to them we can say, "Brethren, whether you be right, or we be right in the matter of church discipline or organization, yet we can assure you that 'truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. Well, we can say to him, "We have preached what we do know, we have testified what we have seen, and if we cannot go to all the heights, and depths, and lengths, and breadths, as yet, we hope to grow; but we can say, even should you doubt our declaration, 'Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
You will perceive that there is suggested by the text, a quiet investigation, leading to a most solemn affirmation.

Our desire is, that you may have fellowship with us, and, therefore, "that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you. In order to have fellowship with any man, there must be a concord of heart. Now, I think we can avow, this morning, in the first place, that we do feel a sweet concord with God in his eternal purposes. I read the Book of God, and I find that he hath ordained Christ to be the Head of his Church, and that he hath chosen unto himself "a number that no man can number.
Why, we love them, we delight in them, the decrees of God are satisfactory to us. If it were possible for us to alter the roll in which his divine intentions are written, we would not do it, we feel that whatever he has ordained must be right, and as for his ordination of his people unto eternal life, and his loving them above all people that be on the face of the earth, why this is one of the richest joys that we know.
The doctrine of election is a sweet cordial to the child of God. I can cry, "My Father, thou art King, thou hast chosen the base things of this world, and things that are not, to bring to nought the things out are; and in this I have fellowship with thee, for I can exclaim, 'I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemeth good in thy sight. Ah, the deeds of the Most High tend to manifest his majesty and glorify his Godhead.
O brethren, do not we sympathise with God in this object?

Give glory unto him, give glory unto him, O all creatures that his hand hath made! The highest aspiration of our spirit, when it is most enlarged, and most inflamed is, that he in all things may he glorified. He knows, for he can read the heart, that oftentimes, when we have ourselves been bowed down, and we have been made as the very dust of the earth, we have said, "This is still my comfort, that he is exalted, that he still reigneth, and doeth as he wills arming the armies of heaven, and among the people of this lower world.
He has purposed to stain the pride of all human boasting, and to make the world know that Jehovah is God, and "that beside him there is none else" do not you also desire the same, and do you not daily pray, "Let him be magnified from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof; let all creatures call him blessed, let all that have breath, praise, laud, and magnify his name?
What does it mean to walk in the light?
It pleased him, that in "the fullness of time, he should send forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. Does it not strike you as being the wisest, the most gracious, the most glorious scheme that could have been devised? And as from its first fountain in predestination, onward to the ocean of glory, you traverse the ever-flowing stream, do you not say of it in all matchless course, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy hath chosen us in him from before the foundation of the world, and who having, chosen us, will glorify us and bring us to himself at the last?
If it approves itself to him, it certainly approves itself to us, if he chose it as the plan of divine operation, we adore his choice, we reverence both the wisdom and the love which planned and carried out the design. And yet more I think we may add, we have fellowship with God in the most prominent characteristics of that plan. Throughout the whole way of salvation, you have seen displayed the justice and the mercy of God, each with undimmed lustre. You have seen his grace in forgiving the sinner, but you have seen his holiness in avenging sin upon the substitute.
Lord God of Sabbath," is still the son of angels, even when they see sinners who were once the vilest of the vile, brought to share their joys, and sing their songs. And, brethren, do not you and I feel we have fellowship with God in this? Would you have him unjust that you might be saved? I think you would say, "Never!
You would not have him retract his threatening, for then you might fear that he would forget his promise. I am sure, as you look upon the character of God, as he manifests it in the face of Jesus Christ, your soul is filled with ineffable and delightful adoration; you can sing unto him, "Great art thou, O God, thy mercy endureth for ever," and taking up the words of David, you can say, "I will sing of mercy, and of judgment; unto thee, O God, will I sing! But to proceed a step further: When two persons love the same thing, their affection becomes a tie between them.
The two may love each other, but when in the course of providence, children are brought into the house, their children become another bond between their parents, each of them mutually giving their hearts to their little ones, feel that their hearts are yet more fully given the one to the other. Now, there is a tie between God the Father and our souls, for did not he say, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased?
And has not Father determined to glorify his Son Jesus? And is not the fondest thought of our heart that we may help to glorify him here on earth, and may spread his glories even in heaven, by telling to the angels, and principalities, and powers, the height and depth of his lovingkindness? Does the Father love the Son?
Does the Father love the saints? Doth he declare that "Precious shall their blood be in his sight? Will he say that "His delight is in his people," and that "they are his peculiar portion," and his "choice heritage? But you know, brethren, the word "fellowship" not only signifies concord of heart but it implies a carrying out of that concord a little further, in converse or mutual communication. May the Holy Spirit grant that we may not say a word which is not strictly verified by our experience! We have not seen him at any time, nor have we beheld his shape.
It is an easy to understand and compassionate help to others to keep walking in Christ and not give up. The author begins by quoting Isaiah Now that we belong to God, we should act not as the world but Godly. We must be the light for others, so they can see the path too. The blind cannot lead the blind. One must have open eyes to be able to lead others to the true path. This is based on scripture and not on the way society does - by separating people into groups.
As far as fellowship is concerned, Miranda answers the following questions: Who is a Christian? What makes you a Christian? Becoming a Christian demands that one maintains a humble attitude of complete submission and surrender to Christ so that Christ may live in them, and that He may manifest Himself through them. As you "labor" in Christ, your motive for doing so can make all the difference.
Product description
Miranda shares the story of the Prodigal Son to explain further. The author mentions gives 3 areas of sin that the Christian must contend with while highlighting the importance of spiritual warfare in emotional healing and deliverance. Here's some good fodder: Have the Holy Spirit bring them out and remove them from memory.
Living in the past is not Biblical; forget what lies behind. I like that it includes very encouraging verses on being a new creation, victory over sin, living righteously, gifts of the Holy Spirit, being God's possession, and so on. Onset of a Glorious Marital Destiny. With his superb use of illustrations and a wealth of scriptures that exactly hit the mark, Henry Miranda unfolds what a Christian life can be - what a Christian life should be.
This book is not only well written and easy to follow, it is a beautiful picture of living with God in fellowship. It is full of gentle reminders that God is always near, always ready to listen, always ready to take our hands and be both our God and our closest, most loving Friend.
