We see Jesus,
who was made a little lower than the angels
for the suffering of death,
crowned with glory and honour.
Hebrews 2:9

Excerpt of a word at a wedding July 1959
In the fourth chapter of John we have the second sign which Jesus did.
It is one thing for our brother and his wife to share the joy of today, but they have to face matters day by day in their pathway. They will find themselves, as we do, in a scene which is marked by moral barrenness and death. We find Sardis conditions all around us, "A name that thou livest, and art dead." We thus find ourselves in the midst of a condition of things in which there is no response to the heart of the blessed God, and no response to the Lord Jesus Christ. And beloved brethren, the only One who can maintain living conditions in any circle, including the domestic circle, is the One Who was first invited there and Who as coming in brought in abundant joy.
I would commend this thought to our beloved brother and sister, and indeed to us all. It should not be on these special occasions only that we invite the Lord to come in, and make room for Him to glorify Himself, to show His glory forth. But day by day as we go along in a scene which is marked by death and a lack of response to Divine Persons, what a blessed thing it is to invite Him in, and to make room for Him to come in, so that we might be found here, in living conditions.
One would greatly desire that our brethren might know something of the power of this. You will observe that I am not pressing the incident itself, but the moral and spiritual thought in it all, that we should not only invite the Lord on these special days, but that we should make room for Him day by day in our domestic matters, and in every circle we touch, and that we might thus get a fresh touch day by day of the glory of Christ.
