"Perfect in Christ Jesus." --Colossians 1:28
Do you not feel in your own soul that perfection is not in you? Does not
every day teach you that? Every tear which trickles from your eye, weeps
"imperfection"; every harsh word which proceeds from your lip, mutters
"imperfection." You have too frequently had a view of your own heart to dream
for a moment of any perfection in yourself. But amidst this sad
consciousness of imperfection, here is comfort for you--you are "perfect in
Christ Jesus."In God's sight, you are "complete in Him;" even now
you are "accepted in the Beloved." But there is a second perfection, yet to be
realized, which is sure to all the seed. Is it not delightful to look forward to
the time when every stain of sin shall be removed from the believer, and he
shall be presented faultless before the throne, without spot, or wrinkle, or any
such thing? The Church of Christ then will be so pure, that not even the eye of
Omniscience will see a spot or blemish in her; so holy and so glorious, that
Hart did not go beyond the truth when he said--
"With my Saviour's garments on,
Holy as the Holy One."
Then shall we know, and taste, and feel the happiness of this vast but
short sentence, "Complete in Christ." Not till then shall we fully comprehend
the heights and depths of the salvation of Jesus. Doth not thy heart leap for
joy at the thought of it? Black as thou art, thou shalt be white one day; filthy
as thou art, thou shalt be clean. Oh, it is a marvellous salvation this! Christ
takes a worm and transforms it into an angel; Christ takes a black and deformed
thing and makes it clean and matchless in His glory, peerless in His beauty, and
fit to be the companion of seraphs. O my soul, stand and admire this blessed
truth of perfection in Christ.
