“The Things Concerning Me Have an End.”
THESE words were spoken by our Lord in view of the accomplishment of his sufferings. Every thing that the prophets had spoken must be fulfilled. Not one particular of his humiliation could be left unaccomplished. But though all must have their exact fulfilment, there was a limited number, which could at last be completed. From not one of them did Jesus shrink. There seemed no end to this anguish, yet there was such at last. And as there was an end of our Lord’s anguish, so will there be to that of his people. He did not shrink from his cup of bitterness, but drank it up. So must his people drink their bitter cup. But there will be an end at last. Then there shall be an end of sorrow forever. The people of God shall enter into the joy of their Lord, and they shall never taste of sorrow more.
