Christ’s Object Lessons
These scenes are to be repeated, and with greater power. The
outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost was the former
rain, but the latter rain will be more abundant. The Spirit awaits our
demand and reception. Christ is again to be revealed in His fulness by
the Holy Spirit’s power. Men will discern the value of the precious
pearl, and with the apostle Paul they will say, “What things were gain
to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all
things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my
Lord.”
Philippians 3:7, 8
