RI- T o which company do you belong? There are but the two, and you are found in one or the other. What, then, are these companies? Listen to the Apostle John. Speaking of the Lord Jesus when He came into this world, John says: “ He came unto his own,” unto that which His hands had made and to the people He had favored and privileged, “ and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” (John 1:12). Two classes were seen — those who “received him not” and those who “received him.” The Lord Jesus stood, as it were, at their doors and knocked. Some slight ed His call, and scorned His presence. They would not open to Him. Thus they missed the blessing He brought and would have bestowed upon them, and they secured judgment for them selves. “ R.H.N.” was marked upon them ■—- “ Received Him Not.” But others opened their hearts and welcomed Him. Owning their sin and need, they saw in Him the Son of God, the Saviour sent* by the Father. They welcomed Him and were not only pardoned of all their sins, but were given unspeakable blessing as well. They were henceforth to take their place as the children of God. “ R.H.” was true of them. They had “ Received Him.” Which is true of you — “ R.H.N.” or “ R.H.” ? — Inglis Fleming TH IS MONTH 'S ACROST IC S earch me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my thoughts (Ps. 139:23).
