God Sanctifies Those Who Closely Commune with Jesus ㅡ
“And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:” (Mark 3:17)
In the life of the disciple John true sanctification is exemplified.
During the years of his close association with Christ, he was often warned and cautioned by the Saviour; and these reproofs he accepted.
As the character of the Divine One was manifested to him, John saw his own deficiencies, and was humbled by the revelation.
Day by day, in contrast with his own violent spirit, he beheld the tenderness and forbearance of Jesus, and heard His lessons of humility and patience.
Day by day his heart was drawn out to Christ, until he lost sight of self in love for his Master.
The power and tenderness, the majesty and meekness, the strength and patience, that he saw in the daily life of the Son of God, filled his soul with admiration.
He yielded his resentful, ambitious temper to the molding power of Christ, and divine love wrought in him a transformation of character.
Such transformation of character as is seen in the life of John is ever the result of communion with Christ.
There may be marked defects in the character of an individual, yet when he becomes a true disciple of Christ, the power of divine grace transforms and sanctifies him.
Beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, he is changed from glory to glory, until he is like Him whom he adores.
(The Acts of the Apostles 557.1,559.1)
