Spurgeon: April PM

"The Amen."
--Revelation 3:14
The word AMEN solemnly confirms that which went before; and
Jesus is the great Confirmer; immutable, for ever is "the Amen"
in all His promises. Sinner , I would comfort thee with this
reflection. Jesus Christ said, "Come unto me all ye that labour
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." If you come to
Him, He will say "Amen" in your soul; His promise shall be true
to you . He said in the days of His flesh, "The bruised reed I
will not break." O thou poor, broken, bruised heart, if thou
comest to Him, He will say "Amen" to thee, and that shall be
true in thy soul as in hundreds of cases in bygone years.
Christian , is not this very comforting to thee also, that
there is not a word which has gone out of the Saviour's lips
which He has ever retracted? The words of Jesus shall stand when
heaven and earth shall pass away. If thou gettest a hold of but
half a promise, thou shalt find it true. Beware of him who is
called "Clip-promise," who will destroy much of the comfort of
God's word.
Jesus is Yea and Amen in all His offices . He was a Priest
to pardon and cleanse once, He is Amen as Priest still. He was a
King to rule and reign for His people, and to defend them with
His mighty arm, He is an Amen King, the same still. He was a
Prophet of old, to foretell good things to come, His lips are
most sweet, and drop with honey still--He is an Amen Prophet.
He is Amen as to the merit of His blood; He is Amen as to His
righteousness. That sacred robe shall remain most fair and
glorious when nature shall decay. He is Amen in every single
title which He bears; your Husband, never seeking a divorce;
your Friend, sticking closer than a brother; your Shepherd, with
you in death's dark vale; your Help and your Deliverer; your
Castle and your High Tower; the Horn of your strength, your
confidence, your joy, your all in all, and your Yea and Amen in
all.
