1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
God's answer to everything, God's explanation of
everything, and God's means of realizing everything is a Man, "the man
Christ Jesus."
When this world has run its evil course, this inhabited
earth will be judged in a Man. Men will be judged by what their
inward relationship is to that Man.
The question at the judgment will
never be of how much good or bad, right or wrong, more or less, is in a
man; it will turn upon this one point, "Are you in Christ?" If not, more
or less makes no difference. God's intention, God's proclamation is
that all things are in His Son.
Are you in Him? Why not? The basis of
judgment is very simple. It is all gathered up in a Man, and what is in
that Man of God for us. That is the basis of judgment. It all comes back
to the very simple, and yet comprehensive and blessed truth, that it is
what Christ is that satisfies God, reaches God's end, and meets all our
need. It is all summed up in a Man, &
quot;the man Christ Jesus."
