With bitter herbs - Exodus 12:8

THE Paschal feast is the emblem of the Christian life. The Blood is ever
speaking to God for us; though we see it not, God sees it, and hears its
prevalent
plea. We in the meanwhile are called upon to feed in faith daily, hourly, on
the flesh of the Son of Man, according to His own command. In all Christian
life, even in its hours of greatest rapture, there must be a touch of the
bitter herb.

We can never forget the cost of our redemption. - Even in heaven, in the
full realization of its' bliss, whenever we catch sight of the print of the
nails
in His hand, we shall remember the agony and bloody sweat, the cross and
passion, and eat the feast with the flavor of the bitter herb. How much more
on
earth, where we are so constantly requiring the efficacy of His precious
death!

There will always be the memory of our sinnership. - We cannot forget our
unworthiness and sin. He has forgiven; but we cannot forget. Ah, those years
of rebellion and perverseness before we yielded to Him; and those years of
self-will and pride since we knew His love l They will sometimes come back
to
us, and give us to eat of the bitter herb.

Moreover, there must be the constant crucifixion of the self-life. - We can
only properly feed on Jesus, the Lamb of God, when we are animated by the
spirit
of self-surrender and humiliation, of death to the world and to the will of
the flesh, which were the characteristics of His cross. Deep down in our
hearts,
the drinking of His cup and being baptized with His baptism, will be the
touch of the bitter herbs in the feast. But "the sufferings of this present
time
are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."
