999. “Yourselves”

Wise and wholesome injunctions are found in the following commands from our Lord.

1. “Have salt in yourselves” (Mar_9:50). The salt of grace will keep us sweet and pungent.

2. “Take heed to yourselves” (Mar_13:9). Personal application to the Lord’s direction will bring untold blessing.

3. “Come ye yourselves apart” (Mar_6:31). Separation to the Lord for rest and prayer we constantly need.

4. “Lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven” (Mat_6:20). To have riches only on earth is to be bankrupt regarding the lasting treasures.

5. “Ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their Lord” (Luk_12:36). Waiting for Christ is to be rewarded by Him.

6. “Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness” (Luk_16:9, R.V.). Do good by what you have, and you will have good in the days to come.

7. “Murmur not among yourselves” (Joh_6:43). To murmur is a useless complaint, that benefits no one.
