Tsadhe Righteous are you, O LORD, and right are your rules. You have appointed your testimonies in righteousness and in all faithfulness. My zeal consumes me, because my foes forget your words. Your promise is well tried, and your servant loves it. I am small and despised, yet I do not forget your precepts. Your righteousness is righteous forever, and your law is true. Trouble and anguish have found me out, but your commandments are my delight. Your testimonies are righteous forever; give me understanding that I may live.
“Shining in the center of Second Corinthians 4:4, like a pearl in its setting, you will find thee words “…The light of the Gospel of the Glory of Christ…”
“Paul was a man of one idea. The Gospel of Christ saturated his soul as the dew saturated Gideon’s fleece. He could think of nothing else, and speak of nothing else, but the glory of Christ crucified. Important events in politics transpired in the apostle’s day, but I cannot remember an allusion to them. Great social problems were to be solved, but his one and only solution was the preaching of that great Savior. For Paul there was but one thing worth living for, and that one thing was worth dying for. He did not count even his life dear to him that he might win Christ , and be found in Him.” A quotation from a sermon, The Gospel of the Glory of Christ” by Charles H Spurgeon, published in Herald of His Coming, March/April,
We must not ever forget in our preaching and teaching, that no matter what social problem or which war is being fought by man, there is no issue or event that is worth living or dying except the glory of our LORD, Jesus, Christ.
