Spurgeon Meditations

 

And so all Israel shall be saved.

Rom 11 26

Then Moses sang at the Red Sea it was his joy to know that all Israel were safe. Not a drop of spray fell from that solid wall until the last of God's Israel had safely planted his foot on the other side the flood. That done immediately the floods dissolved into their proper place again but not till then. Part of that song was Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the peoplewhich thou hast redeemed. In the last time when the elect shall sing the song of Moses the servant of God and of the Lamb it shall be the boast of Jesus Of all whom thou hastgiven me, I have lost none. In heaven there shall not be a vacant throne. For all the chosen race Shall meet around the throne, Shall bless the conduct of His grace, And make His glories known. As many as God hath chosen as many as Christ hath redeemed as many as the Spirit hath called as many as believe in Jesus shall safely cross the dividing sea. We are not all safely landed yet: Part of the host have crossed the flood, And part are crossing now. The vanguard of the army has already reached the shore. We are marching through the depths; we are at this day following hard after our Leader into the heart of the sea. Let us be of good cheer: the rear-guard shall soon be where the vanguard already is; the last of the chosen ones shall soon have crossed the sea and then shall be heard the song of triumph when all are secure. But oh! if one were absent--oh! if one of His chosen family should be cast away--it would make an everlasting discord in the song of the redeemed and cut the strings of the harps of paradise so that music could never be extorted from them.
