Christ, the Law Personified
THERE is one commentary on the ten commandments that is comprehensive, and yet within the reach of everybody, and so plain that the simplest can understand it. It is nothing other than the life of Christ as set forth in the Gospels. Said Christ, through the prophet: "I delight to do thy will, O my God; yea, thy law is within my heart." Ps. 40:8. He was the law personified. In his life we see the performance of just what the law of God requires. The man who keeps the law perfectly will be just like Christ; and the man who does as Christ did is a doer of the law. And such a man is a Christian indeed; for the one who abides in Christ must walk even as he walked. 1 John 2:6. No less service than this will be rewarded with eternal life.
