CHRIST MAGNIFIED THE LAW
Tune to "HOW SWEET THE NAME" CM
Words by JIM BYRD

1. The Son of God, in covâ€™nant love,
The law to satisfy;
Descended from His throne above,
To suffer, bleed and die.

2. â€˜Twas by His death Godâ€™s justice was
Completely satisfied;
And by the work of Christ our Lord,
The law was magnified.

3. Upon the cross the Savior bore,
The weight of all our sin;
For us He paid the ransom price,
And righteousness brought in.

4. Christ triumphed over sin and death
Then took His seat on high;
And by the power of His blood,
To God He brings us nigh.

5. Each sinner in whose stead Christ died,
Will in this Savior rest;
And all who trust in Him are robed,
In spotless righteousness.

GLORYING IN THE CROSS
"But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world"(Galatians 6:14). For his own part, the Apostle was determined to glory in nothing save the cross of Christ. He had gone out to Him without the camp, bearing His reproach, and like Moses, he counted the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. The cross is here put for the atoning sacrifice of the Son of God upon the cross. This is the foundation which God hath laid in Sion for the hope of the guilty. His own self bare the sins of His people in His own body on the tree; they are justified by His blood, redeemed from the curse; and upon this and this alone, believers rest their hope. They do not glory in any real or fancied superiority over others. They behold the glory of the Lord shining in the face of Jesus Christ. Through the rent vail of the Redeemerâ€™s flesh, they draw near to their covenant God, seated on a throne of grace; and, beholding the perfection of the sacrifice offered on Calvary and arrayed in their Redeemerâ€™s everlasting righteousness, they challenge the universe to lay anything to their charge. â€“James Haldane

THE WORD OF TRUTH
Some say it makes no difference what a man hears or believes with regard to religious matters, as long as he "believes on Jesus," no matter who he imagines him to be or to have done. An inspired apostle, however, wrote about trusting the Lord after having heard "the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation" (Ephesians 1:13). It is only "the word of truth" that is "the gospel of your salvation," and if there is "the word of truth," then we know Satan has concocted the word of error, and the word of error is not the gospel of your salvation. What is the word of error? It is any message that makes salvation dependent upon sinners. There is no salvation in hearing and believing "the word of error," but in hearing and believing "the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation." "The word of truth, the gospel of your salvation" is the word about Him who is the Truth; it is the truth about Him Who is the Word. It is the "report" of the Saviorâ€™s deity and humanity, the good news of what He accomplished for sinners so that God might be "a just God and a Savior." "The word of truth" is the message of redemption obtained by the cross-death of the Lord Jesus Christ. "The word of truth" is not an invitation, but a declaration of the work Christ did to the Fatherâ€™s full satisfaction. It is the good news that redemption and reconciliation have been accomplished. When the Savior said, "It is finished" and "bowed His head and yielded up the ghost" (John 19:30), everything a holy God demanded for the justification of His people was fulfilled. All the sins of those in whose stead He was sacrificed were put away; He reconciled His people and brought in everlasting righteousness when He "died for our sins according to the scriptures" (1ã€€Corinthians 15:3). This is the message we must hear and be brought by the Holy Spirit to believe, the glad tidings of what God has already done for undeserving rebels and Who He did it by, Christ the Redeemer. â€“Pastor Jim Byrd
*****

The gospel is the chariot wherein the Spirit rides victoriously when He makes His entrance into the hearts of men. â€“William Gurnall
