Life Talks: A Series of Bible Talks on the Christian Life (Classic Reprint)

Chastening. Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth. Heb. 12:6. How deep is the mystery of God schastening of His children! And how the soul shrinks at the very mention of the word! Yet, in this Hebrews passage is set forth some of the most precious teaching of God s Word as to His loving dealing with the lives of His own. Let us give heed to it. For it touches the deeps of Christian experience in that it brings us face to face with God swondrous grace in over-ruling the mystery of suffering to the enrichment and unspeakable blessing of the lives of His children. And let us note, first, that Chastening is God schild-training. That is what the word means. It is built upon the Greek word child. It is the root-word for child with the verb termination added to it. It means to deal with as a child, to childtrain. Nine times in the passage occurs the word son, child, and father. God is speaking to His own. We are His own dear children.
