We shall appear, too, before His judgment seat, not to be judged, but to render account to God―a striking proof of the deity of the Lord Jesus. We are already accepted, so that the righteousness of God will by no means put us again on our trial; and if it is a question of us on this point in any way, it will be to show that we are “the righteousness of God in Christ.” But in this circumstance what a discovery shall we not make of the tenderness of Christ, and what shall not be our admiration, when we shall know all the watchful care wherewith the faithful Saviour has surrounded our weakness, during the passage through the desert! Seen in this light, this moment presents something delicious to the mind.
