The Liberty of Christ Jesus
The liberty of Christ Jesus is eternal. It had its day of deliverance from cruel bondage; it has its many days of glorious victory; it has its days of calm, quiet sailing along peaceful shores; it has its seasons of precious rest and counsel with the Master; it has its struggles, its groanings when the oppressor is cruel and the weak flesh is tried to the uttermost; but in it all it looks forward to the immortal state where sin and all its consequences will be forever banished, and all the redeemed—earth and people—shall forever enjoy the “glorious liberty of the sons of God,” nevermore to know the bondage of sin. "Take all the pleasures of all the spheres,
And multiply each through endless years,
One minute of heaven is worth them all." And we may have that minute here, ripening in a little while into the glorious eternal years of God. O soul, go free in Christ, and then “stand fast” “in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free”!
