Christ Jesus be magnified - The LORD our righteousness!
“Behold,
thou art fair, My love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’
eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear
from mount Gilead.”
-Song of Solomon 4:1 [KJV]
There
is no spot in the Church, because the blood of Jesus entirely
obliterates each stain. Omniscience
may look for sins, but no more can they be found. The absence of
defect is the result of her being adorned with His perfect
righteousness. In this no blemish can exist. Thus she appears
righteous, even as God is righteous. This blessed truth must be held
fast without obliterating the knowledge of our own constant and
innumerable transgressions. It cannot be too often repeated, that in
ourselves we are deformed and loathsome. The most saintly of saints
will ever breathe the prayer, “God be merciful to me a sinner.”
But Jesus says of His people, “You are all beautiful, My love;
there is no spot in you.”
-Gospel
report by preacher Henry Law (1797–1884 A.D.)
