      One King, One LORD

  "And the LORD shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall there be
one LORD, and His Name one" (Zechariah 14:9).

  Blessed prospect! This is no dream of an enthusiast but the declaration of
the infallible Word. Jehovah shall be known among all people, and His gracious
sway shall be acknowledged by every tribe of man. Today, it is far from being
so. Where do any bow before the great King? How much there is of rebellion!
What lords many and gods many there are on the earth! Even among professed
Christians what diversities of ideas there are about Him and His gospel! One
day there shall be one King, one Jehovah, and one name for the living God. O
LORD, hasten it! We daily cry, "Thy kingdom come."

  We will not discuss the question as to when this shall be lest we lose the
comfort of the certainty that it shall be. So surely as the Holy Ghost spake by
His prophets, so surely shall the whole earth be filled with the glory of the
LORD. Jesus did not die in vain. The Spirit of God worketh not in vain. The
Father's eternal purposes shall not be frustrated. Here, where Satan triumphed,
Jesus shall be crowned, and the LORD God Omnipotent shall reign. Let us go our
way to our daily work and warfare made strong in faith.

"The law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just and good" (Rom. 7:12). How
could it be anything less when Jehovah himself had framed and given it! The
fault lay not in the law but in man who, being depraved and sinful, could not
keep it. Yet that law must be kept, and kept by a man, so that the law might be
honoured and magnified, and its giver vindicated. Therefore we read, "For what
the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his
own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the
flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in (not "by") us,
who walk not after flesh, but after the Spirit" (Rom. 8:3, 4). The "weakness"
here is that of fallen man. The sending forth of God's Son in the likeness of
sin's flesh (Greek) refers to the Incarnation: as we read in another scripture,
"God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, that he might
redeem them that were under the law" (Gal. 4:4, 5 RV). Yes, the Saviour was
born "under the law", born under it that he might keep it perfectly in thought,
word and deed. "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I
am not come to destroy. but to fulfill" (Matthew 5:17); such was his claim.

But not only did the Saviour keep the precepts of the law, he also suffered its
penalty and endured its curse. We had broken it, and taking our place, he must
receive its just sentence. Having received its penalty and endured its curse
the demands of the law are fully met and justice is satisfied. Therefore is it
written of believers, "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being
made a curse for us" (Gal. 3:13). And again, "For Christ is the end of the law
for righteousness to every one that believeth" (Rom. 10:4). And yet again, "
For ye are not under the law, but under grace" (Romans 6:14).

Free from the law, O happy condition! Jesus hath blest and there is remission.
Cursed by the law and dead by the fall, Grace hath redeemed us once for all.
