The Heavenly Canaan
Numbers 10:29-32
And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying to the place of which the LORD said…


I. THE GREAT OBJECT WHICH IS SOUGHT BY THE CHURCH OF GOD. "We are seeking heaven, and its perfect felicity we hope ultimately to realise.

II. THE INVITATION PRESENTED BY THE CHURCH OF GOD TO THEM THAT ARE WITHOUT. "Come with us and we will do thee good."

III. Let me show WHAT WILL BE THE ISSUE OF THE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS INVITATION, Most cheering is the assurance that is given unto those who go with God's people of a positive blessing. "We will do thee good," said Moses to Hobab, "for the Lord hath spoken good concerning Israel." Now I am very anxious just to set before you this truth, that no person can be found who loves God, and who has accepted the invitation to associate with His people, without being a gainer thereby.

(T. W. Aveling.)
