\u201cI am with thee\u201d \u2014 Acts 18:10.<\/i><\/p>\n
The Apostle Paul was about to be placed in imminent peril. He was to be brought before the Roman governor Gallio. The Jews, rank and rabble, were hopeful that they would get him condemned to death. In this threatening crisis the Lord Jesus would give him a word of comfort to strengthen him, that his courage might not fail. The best, the most assuring word that the Savior could speak to his servant was this, \u201cI am with thee.\u201d Nothing in heaven or earth could be more fitted to cheer his tried spirit. To know that Jesus was with him, approving, supporting, defending him, was a safeguard against fear. Years afterwards, when Paul had to stand before the Roman emperor, whose will was absolute, whose fiat could have put him to instant death, he had no man who dare stand by him. A poor despired servant of a despised Master, he was not then cast down or disheartened, for he says, \u201cNevertheless, the Lord stood by me.\u201d Under the worst circumstances, true Christians find the richest comfort if they do but know that Jesus is with them. When our Lord went away to heaven, and left his disciples on earth, they were like a flock of sheep surrounded with wolves. Just then he would surely give them, as a parting word, the tenderest and the most encouraging sentence that could fall from his lips. What think you was that word? Why, one of his farewell words was this, \u201cLo, I am with you always\u201d \u2014 a dear and blessed legacy to his children who are still in banishment below. And when John, in Patmos, had a vision of Jesus in his glory, where, think you, did he see him? Did he see him as standing before the throne, or in any position of glory? Yes, he did; but first of all he says, \u201cI saw him walking amongst the golden candlesticks.\u201d Now, he tells us, these golden candelabra represented the churches, and Jesus Christ was pictured even as a glorified Savior, holding the seven stars in his right hand, and walking among the seven golden candlesticks. Hence I gather that the truest comfort of the Church is for Christ to be with us, and that one of the highest joys of Jesus is to be with his people.<\/p>\n
I shall ask you now to consider the grateful fact that Jesus is with believers. The words, \u201cI am with thee,\u201d may be taken in three ways, and the three must be combined to get the whole of their sense.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am with thee.\u201d This implies his presence. That would not be enough; a person is not with us if he is merely in the same place as a spectator. \u201cI am with thee\u201d expresses his sympathy. He is not here as a stranger; but he is here feeling for us, compassionating with us. \u201cI am with thee\u201d has a yet deeper significance. It involves succor. He is working with thee \u2014 on the same side \u2014 exerting his power in connection with thine. Put the three together, and you get presence, sympathy, co-operation, to interpret the meaning. We will take the three words, and oh! as we take them, may we realism them as our own. The words \u201cI am with thee\u201d leave no doubt of: \u2014<\/p>\n
I. <\/b>The Presence Of Christ.<\/p>\n
Believer, Jesus Christ\u2019s spiritual and most real presence is with you. This should greatly comfort you, because it is the presence of One whom you dearly love, and who reciprocates that affection with an accord so intimate that every hope or fear you feel is reflected in his breast. His heart beats true to you. I might almost say his nerves vibrate in sympathy with you. Oh! how it calms the mind in the midst of difficulty or danger, if we have near us, by our side, one toward whom our heart goes forth, and from whom a kindred yearning comes back! The child sleeps sweetly when it is with its mother, watched and tended by her quick eye and ready hand. The loneliest part of the pilgrim\u2019s road is relieved of its tediousness and its terror when some dear companion is with him, in whose fellowship he can agree, upon whose arm he may lean, and whose constancy he can trust to share any danger. A sprightly word, a kindly look, a brotherly act, seem like timely aid to us all when we are jaded, footsore, out of our course, and out of spirits. Ah! then, you could not have a sweeter friend with you than you have in Jesus. The society of brother or sister, husband or wife, parent or guardian, can never equal the hallowed peace of communion with Jesus, who loved you, lived for you, died for you, lives for you still, gives his whole heart to you, and only asks that you give your heart to him in return.<\/p>\n
Still more precious does this presence of Jesus become when we think how ennobling it is. Some people talk all their life long of having been once in the society of some great person. That is, indeed, a foolish pride, very empty. But to have been in the society of Jesus is worthy to be remembered, deserving to be recorded, and most desirable to be repeated. I reckon that the angels would look more respectfully towards a man who has had communion with Jesus than they would at a council of kings and emperors, or a parliament of princes and peers, are made priests and kings who enter into fellowship with our great High Priest and King. His glory overshadows us. Though he is transfigured in a way we are not, yet we participate somewhat in his honors now, and we shall be altogether partakers of his glory by-and-bye. \u201cI am with thee,\u201d then, is the voice of a tender friend, and one of a superior nature, who confers dignity by his companionship.<\/p>\n
This \u2014 \u201cI am with thee\u201d \u2014 is an enlivening cry. It inspirits a man, quickens his pulse, and enables him to bid defiance to danger. We remember when Paul was in the ship tossed with tempest, what consternation seized all persons on board. So much were they discouraged that they would probably have been unable to do anything for their own rescue had not Paul, with the coolness of faith, chided their panic, given them counsel and bidden them to eat, for, as he said, \u201cthis is for your health.\u201d After long fasting, he saw the necessity of taking refreshment. And he led the way. He took break, gave thanks to God in the presence of them all, then broke the bread, and himself began to eat. This manly fortitude, this moral courage of the Apostle, repressed, the general agitation and nerved them all with fresh hope, insomuch that they wore all of good cheer, and they also took some food. This was the turning point in their fortune; and, in the issue, they everyone came safe to land. Thus full often has it been in the time of battle. When the troops have been ready to flee, one able man has stood like a rock, has made caution look like cowardice by his own defiance of danger, has given a word which has made every soldier feel himself a hero, lion-hearted, not milk-livered. So the battle has been turned. \u201cI am with thee,\u201d then, O Christian, is the voice of One whose presence fills thy soul with dauntless courage. No fear when Jesus is near. None can be defeated who have him to bring them succor. The presence of Christ with us puts an end to morbid apprehension and ghastly cowardice.<\/p>\n
When we are told that Jesus is with us, we remember that his is a presence which causes intense delight. We have seen men with money, who were not happy; we have seen men with honor, who were not happy, we have seen persons in power, with the command of empires, yet they were not happy; but we never saw, and never shall see, the individual who hath Jesus with him, that is not happy. To be near him, to have him with us, is to have our fears relieved, our griefs soothed, our wounds healed, and all our sorrows turned into joy. One drop of Jesus\u2019 love would turn the whole sea sweet. Yea, though the bitterness within you seem to have penetrated your whole being, let but Jesus whisper, \u201cThou art mine and I am thine,\u201d and the bitterness would turn to honey at that one single word. Only a glimpse from Jesus\u2019 eye, and the darkness is turned to noon-day. Only one word from Jesus\u2019 lips, and the tempest that raged becomes calm, and the ruffled sea is still. \u201cI am with thee\u201d bespeaks the presence then of One who brings you delight.<\/p>\n
And this presence, as I have already hinted, transforms the soul. When Jesus is with us, he makes us like himself. He that lives near to Jesus becomes so Jesus \u2014 like, that others \u201ctake knowledge of him that he has been with Jesus.\u201d Put these thoughts together, and you will see how infinitely desirable and how exquisitely satisfactory the company of Christ is. But, ah! my words cannot tell you, though I had the tongue of the orator or the sweeter strains of the poet. Yea, the inspiration of the muse would fail to acquaint you with it. You must know it for yourself, or else you can never realize how transporting these words are \u2014 \u201cI am with thee\u201d \u2014 Jesus present with his own people.<\/p>\n
Now some of you know, by a happy experience, times and seasons when Jesus is specially present with his people. I trust we have often found him so at the hour of prayer. Rising in the morning, it is sweet to find in those few minutes we give to God before we see the face of man, that, like the Psalmist, we can say, \u201cWhen I am awake I am still with thee.\u201d Then at nightfall, when the day\u2019s work is over, and we are about to lie down and rest, it is good to find, as we kneel before him once again, that Jesus is there! And, Oh! some of us have proved what it is in the watches of the night to have his sweetest company. When darkness compasseth us, and silence awes us, and sleep has deserted us, our soul has said, \u201cNow will I speak with my Beloved,\u201d and we have always found him awake. A sigh has reached his ears; the fluttering of an unfledged prayer; a desire after him has brought him near to our side, close to our couch, present to our heart. We have thanked God for sleeplessness, when we have had our beloved Master talking with us and indulging us with a blessed sense of communion. And, oh! how near Jesus is to his people when they are passing through the stage of penitential love. I hope you often get there, when sensitive to your own imperfection and unworthiness before God, you are abased and humbled, yet looking up at the same moment to that dear cross on which he bled, because we sinned, you see your pardon end acceptance written in crimson lines on the fair body of the dying Savior. I do not know that I have ever more tenderly felt the presence of Jesus than when, while my heart has been broken with a sense of my own worthlessness and insignificance, I have confidently fled for refuge to the hope that is set before me in the finished sacrifice and the perfect redemption that Christ has accomplished.<\/p>\n
But, beloved, Jesus is present to us not only in our acts of penitence and devotion, but he is present with his people in the battle of life. Yes, he will go with you to the workshop. The street is not too common for him to tread side by side with you. Jesus can stand with you in the market. You can as truly maintain fellowship with Christ in your buying and your selling, if your commerce with the world is conducted in the fear of the Lord, as in your praying and your reading, which are of small account, unless \u201cye have an unction from the Holy One.\u201d No kind of labor will ever make Christ take an aversion to you, however humble your toil, however poor the chamber in which that toil is carried on, or however rough may be the garb in which you have to earn your daily bread. Jesus cares not for these. \u2019Tis your soul he looks for; and if you hunger and thirst for him, he will go with you into the lowliest places, and you shall find it true, \u201cI, am with thee.\u201d<\/p>\n
More especially, beloved friends, in the ordinances of God\u2019s house, may we look for the refreshment of the Lord\u2019s presence. Oh! what a beloved place this Tabernacle is when Jesus is here, manifestly in our midst, and witnessed by many hearts. It would be a poor meeting-house if only the minister and the congregation, however large, were congregated together within its walls. Poor would it be, notwithstanding all the accessories of worship, yea, even with the bread and the wine, the elements of the communion supper, spread in rich abundance, without the Lord himself were here to bless the feast and feed the communicants. But, ah! when the King sits at his table, then our spikenard giveth forth a sweet smell, and our heart is merry within us, even as the angels\u2019 that are before the throne of God. Does he not come to you as ye sit in the pews, beloved, and say to you, \u201cI am with thee\u201d? and when ye gather yourselves together to partake of the communion supper, is he not with you there? Join ye in the solemn hymn, or do ye unite in earnest prayer? What is it that makes the service enlivening, and elevating, instructive and fruitful, but the consciousness of his presence \u2014 this same \u201cI am with thee.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yes, and when the time shall come for you to have done with ordinances \u2014 when the preacher\u2019s voice shall no more reach your ear; when the melody of sacred song shall cease to entrance your senses; when you have joined here below for the last time in the fellowship of the Supper of the Lord; for you must bear the clammy sweat upon your brow, and wear the mortal paleness on your cheeks, as you are about to pass through what they call the \u201cgate of tears\u201d \u2014 e\u2019en then you shall find it a gate of endless joy, because this shall be true to your experience in the highest sense, \u201cI am with thee.\u201d Fear not the darkness; dread not the loose pains, shrink not from the weakness, tremble not at the advent of the grim King of Terrors. \u201cI am with thee\u201d will change the hue of that affliction, and when thou art very ill make thee say that all is well.<\/p>\n
Oh! if my Lord would come and meet me, my soul would stretch her wings in haste, fly swiftly through death\u2019s iron gate, nor feel affrighted as she passed. So it shall be with you. I have but skimmed the surface of this first point \u2014 the presence of Christ \u2014 \u201cI am with thee.\u201d Do not any of you skim it. Go into the depths and enjoy it, beloved. The words still further express: \u2014<\/p>\n
II. <\/b>Sympathy.<\/p>\n
Remember that Christ in very deed feels at his heart the sorrows of his people. Are they in the furnace; he walks the fire with them. Are they in the rivers; he says, \u201cWhen thou passest through the rivers, I will be with thee.\u201d And this is grounded upon the precious doctrine of vital union. Every believer is livingly one with Jesus. Jesus is the head, and the believer is a member of the one mystical body. Now you see, whenever a member suffers, the head must suffer, not only because the head wills to suffer, but because of necessity; if there be a vital union, there must be a real sympathy. Let this be, then, a matter of faith with us. If I have believed in Jesus unto everlasting life, Jesus is one with me as my head, and he must \u2014 whether I apprehend it or not at the time \u2014 he must be in sympathy with me. This he shows by the tender pity he has for his people. Do not think he is ever hard or unfeeling towards his poor, his afflicted, his depressed disciples. Nay, brethren, the heart of Jesus is full of tenderness; his bowels melt with love, as he often proves by the sweet converse he has with them. Though he may leave the strong sometimes to bear for awhile the hardships, and grapple, as it were, alone with the troubles of life, he will not leave his tried and tempted ones, or suffer them to faint by the way. Like a mother that lets her full-grown boy alone to shift for himself, but will scarce go out of doors while the baby is ill, so will he watch over them. And has not Jesus been very, very watchful over us in times of pain, and weakness, and serious apprehension? You know he has. He has kept his best succor till we had got into our worst plight. When we had spent all and exhausted every resource, then he has come and brought himself to our aid, and we found him our all in all. Oh! what true sympathy this is! \u201cA friend in need is a friend indeed.\u201d He treats us better as we grow worse. This is just the friend we want. One with us by vital union, he proves his oneness by his tenderness. Now, beloved, if this be so, the very first sympathy you ought to seek in any time of trouble is that of Jesus. You have not always gone promptly to him. You have been far more ready to run off to some kinsman or neighbor, and ask counsel or succor of an earthly helper. What would you think of a wife \u2014 would you think she had much genuine confidence, much good understanding, much true love to her husband, if, on any sudden exigence or anxiety, she left him, fled from her home, crossed the road, entered another person\u2019s house, and poured into another man\u2019s ears the story of her plaint or her peril? You would feel convinced that there was a want of mutual love and reciprocal fellowship. And should it ever be that your soul goes after some poor mortal for consolation, when the beloved Bridegroom of your spirit can afford you all you want, to ask advice? it is often a helpful means, but go first to Jesus. Tell him all: pour out your heart before him. He is with you. Oh! will you neglect One who is with you, and play him so ill a part as to seek another\u2019s help when he is ready to give you all his help \u2014 his sympathising help in time of need? The sympathy of Jesus will, in all probability, be most clearly manifested and most richly enjoyed by you, at such times as you are most in need of it. Thus, when you are persecuted for his sake, he will not hide his face from you. We are not likely to be burnt at the stake, or even cast into prison for the profession of his name in these days of civil and religious liberty; but there are divers tortures from which our fine sensibility shrinks, such as household persecutions. Little petty spites are often vented upon believers for Jesus Christ\u2019s sake. Now do not think a strange thing has happened to you. Take it as a natural consequence of not being of the world; and then hear the Savior say, \u201cI am with thee. I am reproached in thy reproach: I am scorned in the scorn that is cast on thee.\u201d Paul persecuted Jesus when he thought he had only persecuted some poor Jews. And the enemy persecutes Jesus when he persecutes a believer. \u201cI am with thee,\u201d then. Will you not say, \u201cLord, I will bear it for thy sake, and in thy company. Ay, if it were a thousand times worse, I would feel honored to endure it, if thou art there\u201d? You will find him with you sympathetically in your common sorrows. Remember, Jesus does not look for extraordinary occasions in which to sympathise with his people, though he will do it peculiarly then. But at all other times he is a faithful feeling friend. \u201cJesus wept.\u201d It was at the death of Lazarus. Lazarus was only an ordinary saint \u2014 an ordinary believer. There was nothing so remarkable about his death as to make it exceptional. Think not for a moment that in the loss you have sustained Jesus will keep aloof. With the grief that now weighs down your spirit he fully sympathises. In the griefs which are common to mankind, he bears you company. But if you should ever come into deeper waters \u2014 if you should have to cry, \u201cMy God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?\u201d you shall hear Jesus then say still, \u201cI am with thee,\u201d for he knows what strong temptations mean, and deep depressions and despondence that border on despair. He has passed through all, that as the Captain of our salvation he might be made \u201cperfect through suffering.\u201d \u201cTempted in all points like as we are,\u201d there is no grief in which Jesus is not near to us; we have but to open the eye of faith, and we shall see him with us, even in the worst extremities of grief and pain. \u201cI am with thee in sympathy.\u201d This shall be found anywhere and everywhere true by the believer \u2014 ay, even in death itself, for Jesus died. He knows the death sweat, for he sweat, as it were, great drops of blood. He knows the fever, for he said, \u201cI thirst.\u201d He knows the fainting, the languishing, for he said, \u201cI am poured out like water; I am brought into the dust of death.\u201d He knows death in its severest form. He died as you will not die. Under the divine displeasure he passed away, but you shall have the light of the divine countenance amidst the shades of death. Fear not, therefore, that Jesus will forsake you. You have Jesus\u2019 sympathy. I want you to feel that. Well do I know myself what a precious thing sympathy is. A little child\u2019s sympathy will do you good. \u201cMother,\u201d said a little girl, \u201cI do not know why Mrs. So-and-so wants me to go into her house so often, but she told me, when I came home to-night, to be sure and go to-morrow, for I comforted her so, now her husband was dead; and do you know, mother, all I do is, when she cries, I put my face against hers and I cry too; and she says that comforts her.\u201d And so it does. It is just that. We are not alone. Somebody \u2014 somebody cares for me.\u201d We shall never despair while we feel that is true. Now there may be somebody here to-night who is alone in London \u2014 and you had better be alone in the deserts of Sahara. To be alone in London is to be alone indeed. And you are thinking, \u201cNobody cares for me.\u201d But if thou wilt take Christ to be thy friend \u2014 if thou trustest in him \u2014 Jesus will care for thee, and be will surely help thee; for he is not one of those who will put you off by saying, \u201cBe ye warmed and be ye filled.\u201d He will practically show his love to you, and you shall yet rejoice that Jesus is with you, and you are not alone, though you seem alone.\u201d There I leave that second point, praying that you may all know the sympathy of Jesus. Once more: \u2014<\/p>\n
III. <\/b>Co-Operation is implied in the words \u201cI am with thee.\u201d This was just what Paul wanted. He had come down to the city to preach, and God said to him, \u201cI have much people in this city: I am with thee.\u201d So Paul went to his preaching with a cheerful heart, for he felt that if the Lord was with him, it was good to preach. With good sowing, there would be good reaping. Now listen, worker \u2014 worker for God \u2014 and see if there be not music for thine ear in this thought. Jesus co-operates with them. How so? Why, he commands providence. All things are ordered according to his will. The Father hath given all power into the hands of Jesus. He regulates the fields of providence, that they may produce the best results for you. Go on, confidently, then. All things are favorable to you. As Mahomet said, in his way, to his followers, \u201cSwiftly on to the battle, and win! I can hear the trampings of the angel Gabriel\u2019s horse as he rides into the thick of the battle to help you.\u201d They believed it, and were comforted. What he said in falsehood, Jesus may say in truth \u2014 \u201cI am with you.\u201d You can hear the footfalls of the Prince Emmanuel. His power is ruling all creation, to produce the grand result of his glory in the salvation of souls. \u201cI am with you\u201d; that is, \u201cI will prepare human hearts for your message.\u201d You that talk to others will often find others ready to be talked to. It is a cheering thought to the preacher, that he has always a picked congregation, selected by divine providence, that out of them divine grace may make a further selection. They are prepared. As the rain and the wind and the frost will prepare the clods for the plough and the seed, so do God\u2019s providence and the work of grace prepare men\u2019s hearts for the gospel. \u201cI am with you.\u201d Moreover, worker, Jesus is with you, helping you. He will suggest suitable thoughts; he will give you right arguments; he will often guide you to fitting words. Only trust him, and when you go about his business, the Holy Spirit shall be your strength. He will be with you to back up the word you utter, by the power of the Holy Ghost going with it to convince men that what you say is God\u2019s Word to them. Fear not, therefore. If the converting of souls devolved upon you, it would never be done. If a nation had to be reformed, and the whole of another nation had to do it, it would never be achieved; but the Spirit of the Lord is not straitened, and what he wills to do he can accomplish, and none can say him nay.<\/p>\n
Lastly. O earnest worker, Christ is with you, to accept your service. Nobody teas taken any notice of you lately. You have gone plodding on at your work, with not a creature to help, and none to praise. Even your friend who used sometimes to give you a nod of approbation, appears not to have observed you lately. Never mind! never mind! No servant that is deeply absorbed in his work cares much about what other servants may say about him by way of commendation; but if his master comes along, and says, \u201cWell done, good and faithful servant!\u201d that is what he wants to cheer him. Some people will be overhauling your character; I know they do mine; and they are extremely welcome, for I care not as much for their opinion as for the barking of dogs in the streets. If my Master were angry with me, I should mind it; but they are no masters of mine, and they may say what they like. If my Master smile, all the world may frown, it does not signify. But, if my Master frowned, then if all said, \u201cWell done!\u201d it were but a poor, poor recompense to me. Servant of God, be this, then, your joy. \u201cI am with thee,\u201d says Jesus, \u201cto see what thou art doing \u2014 to accept and take thy will for the deed full often \u2014 to read thy real motives where men misconstrue them. I am with thee. Therefore, go on thy way.\u201d Sunday School teachers, tract distributors, or whatever thou mayest happen to be \u2014 in one word, beloved child of God, seeking to serve Jesus \u2014 take, then, this afresh from Jesus\u2019 lips, \u201cI am with thee,\u201d and go thy way, in the power of this thy might, to serve thy Lord without weariness, till he shall say, \u201cCome up higher.\u201d \u201cI am with thee\u201d<\/p>\n
Oh! you that have not any Savior to be with you, I do pity you; but I would say this word to you: he is still to be had. There is still: \u2014 <\/p>\n
\u201cLife in a look at the Crucified One.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Jesus still has blood in which to wash the guilty \u2014 still has room in his heart for needy sinners, and the way to have Jesus for thy Savior is to trust him simply, and to rely on him implicitly. May God grant thee grace to do this, for his mercy\u2019s sake! Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
