368. \u201cFurther\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFurther\u201d suggests something beyond that we have reached; and \u201cno further\u201d speaks of a limitation, or an arrestment.<\/p>\n
1. Control. God controls the sea in all its movements, for He says to it, \u201cHitherto shalt thou come, but no further; and here shall thy proud waves be stayed\u201d (Job_38:11).<\/p>\n
2. Confession. When the Lord revealed Himself to Job as the Almighty, he confessed, \u201cBehold I am vile,\u201d and although he felt inclined to say more, he pulled himself up by saying, \u201cBut I will proceed no further\u201d (Job_40:1-5).<\/p>\n
3. Constrained. When Christ would have \u201cgone further,\u201d as He journeyed with the two disciples, \u201cthey constrained Him\u201d by saying, \u201cAbide with us\u201d (Luk_24:28-29). We may by our prayers arrest Christ to our blessing.<\/p>\n
4. Carefulness. \u201cWhen they had gone a little further, they sounded again\u201d (Act_27:28). The mariners did not recklessly go forward, but sought by their carefulness to see if they were warranted to do so. Carelessness is born of laziness, but carefulness is the companion of diligence.<\/p>\n
5. Corruption. Paul speaks of \u201cmen\u201d who have \u201ccorrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith,\u201d but he says, \u201cthey shall proceed no further\u201d (2Ti_3:8-9). God allows men to go a long way, but they find in the end they are pulled up to their confusion.<\/p>\n
6. Completion. The Levitical priesthood did not make things complete, but Christ in His priesthood brings things to perfection, as the apostle implies when he says, \u201cWhat further need was there that another priest should rise,\u201d but in Christ we have \u201can unchanging priesthood\u201d (Heb_7:11, Heb_7:24).<\/p>\n
