NOVEMBER 22ND, 1895

As far as I understand Colossians 1:22, it would appear that the statement as to presenting is abstract, i.e., a statement of the purpose involved in the reconciling apart from the question of time. It is as good for Christ now as it will be in the future. His point is to present us that, and I think it is effected as His death is realised spiritually in us. The ‘holy’ must be practical or there would be no reality in it. It is the nature of what we are as new created, it is like the new man after God, and nature governs the practice.
