JESUS Christ the Righteous
Christ
is my Daysman, my Umpire, the only One Who
can open His "...mouth
for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to
destruction"
(Proverbs 31:8).
He
is the Intercessor for transgressors (Isaiah
53:12). He is the
all-powerful Advocate for sinful little children (I
John 2:1). He is
the Great High Priest before my God, Who bears my name upon His
breast-plate of judgment, and also the iniquity of my holy things, as
He appears with His priestly crown, that I may be accepted before the
LORD (Exodus 28:38).
In
Him there is a glorious all
fullness that secures
for the elect of God all their sin and guilt put away, every question
of sin forever settled, their persons accepted, their needs supplied,
their enemies defeated, and their heaven sure.
-Gospel report by preacher Thomas Bradbury, c. 1897 A.D.
