The Rest of Christ.

A RECENT writer asserts that Christ entered into his rest on the day of his resurrection. Yet the whole work of his priesthood still lay before him untouched. That it is not a mere rest to be a priest, is shown in the fact that Levitical priests, whose work was of necessity continued on the Sabbath, and whose responsibility was very small, compared with that of Jesus Christ, are said, by their work, to profane the Sabbath. Surely, the time for Jesus' rest had not come when he was raised from the dead.
