Dearly beloved congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ, our text this morning moves from yet another warning about when to speak and when to keep your mouth shut to the promise of immortality for the righteous. And so, I've arranged it under five imperatives. Our text tells us to listen and to speak, to speak the truth, that we will suffer pain if we plan evil, and what we need our characters to show in order to delight God. Again, this passage is telling us what a wise son with a hearing heart looks like. Yes, this is law, in the sense that it's telling us what we are morally obligated to do. But it's gospel, in that it reveals the perfections of Jesus to us and also shows us that in His power we can obey God and begin to look like this. Particularly in the last verse we will see that Jesus, the righteous one of the Father, is the one who leads us to immortality. So listen, and do. Follow your great Savior on the path to righteousness, for it is also the path to unending life.
