#711 Final Faithfulness According to the Will of the Father Part 2
Recap:
In the face of this great emotional and physical pain Jesus waited until all things prophesied were accomplished, and at the prophetically determined time according to the Father’s will he chose to ‘yield up his spirit’ and stopped fighting for his earthly life to continue and committed that surrendered life to the care of the Father. Matthew 27:50
“And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice” “It is finished!” he shouted and “yielded up his spirit.” John 19:30, Matthew 27:50
Like the waive offering, the weight of the offering is held and waived until the it was taken by the hand of Moses. Leviticus 8:25-29 The timing is according to the will of the Father.
“The choice portions of the ram, its ‘inwards’ and ‘fat,’ represented our heart sentiments, our best powers. These were taken in the hands of the priests and ‘waved’—passed to and fro before the Lord—representing the fact that a consecrated offering is not given to the Lord for a moment, a day or a year, but that we consecrate to continually keep our affections and powers uplifted, never ceasing until accepted of him as having finished our course. And Moses took the wave-offering off their hands (the priests did not lay it down), God’s acceptance being shown by fire. So we, the ‘royal priests,’ may not lay down or cease to offer all our powers in God’s service while we have them, not until all are consumed in his service, until God shall say, It is enough—come up higher. When the love (‘fat’) of our inmost being is laid upon the altar, it helps to increase the fire of God’s acceptance. The more love there is connected with our consecration to God, the more quickly will it consume our offering.”
TS 45.2
Oh may we always rely on the timing of the Father, as did our Precious Savior, surrendering our best to the timing and His determination of the length of each experience in the Cup that He pours until He says It is enough—come up higher. Psalm 31:14-15
