Living Out God's Law
Neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever
the Son will reveal him. Matt. 11:27.
Jesus came to represent the character of God in living out the holy law
of Jehovah. In every lesson He gave to His disciples and to the people He
sought to define clearly its principles. By personal obedience to the law He
invested the common duties of life with a holy significance. He lived a man
among men. . . . He lived among the people, He shared their poverty and
their griefs. He dignified life in all its details by keeping before men the
glory of God, and by subordinating everything to the will of His Father. His
life was characterized by supreme love to God, and fervent love to His
fellow men. . . .
His life from its beginning to its close, was one of self-denial and
self-sacrifice. Upon the cross of Calvary He made the great sacrifice of
Himself in behalf of all men, that the whole world might have salvation if
they would. Christ was hid in God, and God stood revealed to the world in
the character of His Son. . . .
Love for a lost world was manifested every day, in every act of His
life. Those who are imbued by His Spirit will work in the same lines as
those in which Christ worked. In Christ the light and love of God were
manifested in human nature. No human being has ever possessed so sensitive a
nature as did the sinless, holy One of God, who stood as head and
representative of what humanity may become through the imparting of the
divine nature. To those who believe in Christ as their personal Saviour, He
imputes His merit and imparts His power. To those who come to Him with their
burden of grief, disappointments, and trials, He will give rest and peace.
It is through the grace of Christ that the soul sees his need of repentance
toward God. . ., and is led to look to Christ by faith, realizing that His
merit is efficacious to save to the uttermost all who come unto God by Him.
. . . Let us open our hearts to receive the love which it is so essential
that we should cultivate in order that we may fulfill the commandments of
God.
