If there is nothing but glory beyond, our faces ought to shine brightly all the time. If a skeptic were to come up here and watch the countenances of the audience he would find many of you looking as though there was anything but glory before you. Many a time it seems to me as if I were at a funeral, people look so sad and downcast. They do not appear to know much of the joy of the Lord. Surely if we were looking right on to the glory that awaits us, our faces would be continually lit up with the light of the upper world. We can preach by our countenances if we will. The nearer we draw to that glory-land, where we shall be with Christ--the more peace, and joy, and rest we ought to have. If we will but come to the throne of grace, we shall have strength to bear all our troubles and trials. If you were to take all the afflictions that flesh is heir to and put them right on any one of us, God has grace enough to carry us right through without faltering. Some one has compiled the following, which beautifully describes the contrast between law and grace: The Law was given by Moses. Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. The Law says--This do, and thou shalt live. Grace says--Live, and then thou shalt do. The Law says--Pay me that thou owest. Grace says--I frankly forgive thee all. The Law says--The wages of sin is death. GRACE says--The gift of God is eternal life. The Law says--The soul that sinneth, it shall die. Grace says--Whosoever believeth in Jesus, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in Him shall never die. The Law pronounces--Condemnation and death. Grace proclaims--Justification and life. The Law says--Make you a new heart and a new spirit. Grace says--A new heart will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you. The Law says--Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. Grace says--Blessed is the man whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sin is covered; blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute iniquity. The Law says--Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. Grace says--Herein is love: not that we love God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. The Law speaks of what man must do for God. Grace tells of what Christ has done for man. The Law addresses man as part of the old creation. Grace makes a man a member of the new creation. The Law bears on a nature prone to disobedience. Grace creates a nature inclined to obedience. The Law demands obedience by the terror of the Lord. Grace beseeches men by the mercies of God. The Law demands holiness. Grace gives holiness. The Law says--Condemn him. Grace says--Embrace him. The Law speaks of priestly sacrifices offered year by year continually, which could never make the comers thereunto perfect.
