The Lord Jesus knew where there was a guest-chamber furnished and prepared, which He and His disciples might use.

He knew also how to bring one with a pitcher of water in his hand who would direct them to the house … It was enough for the master of the house to be told by the Lord's disciples " The Master saith." At once he complied with His desire, and showed them the room where they might make ready the passover.

" The Master saith " something to every one of His own, for ill have something which they can place at His disposal for Himself and His loved ones. Shall we not "take stock" of all that we have, and ask ourselves whether what we have is being used by our Lm-d ? Are we willing to yield " our guest-chamber," whatever it may be, for His service, or are we reserving for ourselves that which might be utilized by Himself?

Perhaps our time and talents are employed only for ourselves. It may be that money is expended in the pursuit of pleasure-innocent pleasure we may call it-which could be spent for the spread of the gospel, and possibly our best abilities are engaged only for the laying up of treasure now, instead of being placed at the disposal of the One who gave His all for us. David's servants of old said, "Thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint." They did not lose by their devotedness. Neither shall we if we yield our best for the service of Christ.

" The Master saith, Where is the guest-chamber? " Shall we not gladly say, " Here it is, Lord ; use it for Thy glory and for Thy praise "? Scattered Seed
