" Then say: "Lord Jesus, I
have seen Thy glory, what Thou didst for the penitent one at Thy side on
the cross; I am trusting Thee, that Thou wilt do it for me. Lord, I cast
myself into Thy arms."
JOY IN THE HOLY GHOST.

_Romans 14: 17._--_For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but
righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost._
In this text we have the earthly revelation of the work of the Trinity. The
Kingdom of God is righteousness; that represents the work of the Father.
The foundations of His throne are justice and judgment. Then comes the work
of the Son: He is our peace, our Shiloh, our rest. The Kingdom of God is
peace; not only the peace of pardon for the past, but the peace of perfect
assurance as to the future. Not only the work of atonement is finished, but
the work of sanctification is finished in Christ, and I may receive and
enjoy what is prepared for me. The new man has been created, and I may in
Him live out my life; if a kingdom is established in righteousness, if the
rule is perfect, there can be perfect rest.
