There is one God and one
Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus. (1 Timothy 2:5)
God's
answer to everything, God's explanation of everything, and God's means of
realizing everything is a Man, "the man Christ Jesus." When this
world has run its evil course, this inhabited earth will be judged in a
Man. Men will be judged by what their inward relationship is to that Man. The
question at the judgment will never be of how much good or bad, right or wrong,
more or less, is in a man; it will turn upon this one point, "Are you in
Christ?" If not, more or less makes no difference. God's intention, God's
proclamation is that all things are in His Son. Are you in Him? Why not? The
basis of judgment is very simple. It is all gathered up in a Man, and what is
in that Man of God for us. That is the basis of judgment. It all comes back to
the very simple, and yet comprehensive and blessed truth, that it is what
Christ is that satisfies God, reaches God's end, and meets all our need. It is
all summed up in a Man, "the man Christ Jesus."
The
Lord continue to open our eyes to His glorious and Heavenly Man, Who is also
the Divine Servant.
