(Psalms 139:14)

“I will praise Thee;

for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:

marvelous are Thy works;

and that my soul knoweth right well.”

******************************************************************************************************

Three Things Self-righteousness Can Never Do

There are three things that self-righteousness can never do:

1. It can never honor the divine law

2. It can never satisfy divine justice

3. It can never quiet a guilty conscience

--Henry Mahan

********************************************************************

Christ our Substitute and Head

Author: Unknown Tune: O For A Thousand Tongues

1. God’s wisdom formed the vast design

To ransom us when lost;

And Christ's own blood and righteousness

Provided all the costs.

2. Strict justice with approving look,

God's covenant was sealed;

When God incarnate undertook

To see the whole fulfilled.

3. Now sin appears deserving death

And would its curse impose;

But Christ our Substitute and Head

Has lived and died and rose.

4. Upon the merits of His blood,

Secure and saved by grace;

We dare approach the throne of God

In Christ who took our place.

*************************

His Jewels!

“They shall be Mine,” says the LORD Almighty, “in that day when I make up My jewels!” Malachi 3:17

The promise of God is that His saints shall be as the jewels of a crown--yes, they shall shine in the Royal diadem! The Lord delights to call them His jewels!

What a price has been paid for the saints--the Son of God purchased them with His own blood! Are they not valuable in His sight? How precious are those whom Jehovah calls His jewels! Bought with such an inestimable price!

But the saints are likened unto jewels, also because our souls need cutting and purifying. A diamond seems to be a mere pebble--until the jeweler's hands give it shape and smoothness. Skill and patient toil so transform it, that everyone takes pleasure it its beauty and brightness.

Likewise is it with our souls. Divine grace removes defects, and beautifies. The sharp edge of affliction, directed by the hand of Infinite Love--makes perfect. No longer rough and unsightly, but beautiful and glorious--the precious workmanship of God becomes His delight. It is made fit for the Royal diadem, in which it will shine throughout eternity--reflecting all-gloriously the majesty of the King of Kings! --William Purton

“Lovest Thou Me More Than These?”

John 21:15

Here is the great question that confronts believers throughout their lives. It is a comfort to those who fail, as Peter had. Despite the many failures of the child of God, he can say, as Peter did, “Lord, Thou knowest all things; Thou knowest that I love Thee.”

This question from the Lord is also a challenge, forcing us to decide what is truly important to us. Love for Christ is the first law of the believer. It is a law that no amount of legal hairsplitting can circumvent. Peter was in his own element: by the seashore with other fishermen. The Lord, in as much as said, “Which shall it be, Peter? Me or the nets?” Put in those terms, the answer was easy; it had already been answered in Peter's heart.

But, the professions of each of us will be tested by similar choices. Lovest thou Me more than family, home, career, comfort, plans, hopes, money, even life? Paul said that he counted all things worthless compared to Christ. May we likewise love Christ more than all things, and may we always show that love in our choices! --Joe Terrell
