 Having Paid the Price for Our Sins, Jesus Is Vindicating for Us ㅡ

 “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” (1 John 2:1, 2)

 “Come,” says Jesus. “Come,” says Christ your Saviour, “learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart.” (Matthew 11:29).

 His arm is extended, “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28). 

 If we are weary, if we are heavy laden, why, then, come right to the great Burden Bearer.

 Say, “Here, Lord, I come just as I am. I come because I am sinful. I come because I am needy. I come because I am wholly dependent, and I want to drink in this life of the waters of life. I want to drink of the streams of salvation which flow from the throne of God.”

 What have we to rejoice in? That Christ is not in Joseph’s new tomb, and a great stone rolled before it.

 Where is He? Where is Jesus? He has arisen; He has risen from the dead; He has ascended on high.

 He is our Advocate, and He pleads in our behalf before the Father.

 We have a Friend at court. Thank God, we have a Friend at court!

 Then offer up your petitions. The righteousness of Christ is there. The perfection of Christ is there.

 Let your heart go out to Jesus who has bought you as His own property with the price of His sacred life-blood.

 Christ is coming, and Christ is to be revealed in you, if you will only allow His image to be revealed in you.
