THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD
“Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee”, Job 22: 21.
By the sorrows and death of Jesus, hear God saying, Acquaint now thyself with Me, and be at peace. He goes down into death, but it was impossible for death to hold Him. God has raised Him from the dead. The God you had sinned against, the God who gave Jesus, has raised Him from the dead; and by that resurrection God is saying, Acquaint now thyself with Me, and be at peace.
“Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification”, Rom 4: 25
God has found infinite satisfaction in the work of His Son, and He is saying, Acquaint now thyself with Me, and be at peace.
The One who was on the cross, who was in the grave, is now in heaven. He made our peace on the cross, He is our peace in heaven, and from the glory there God is saying, Acquaint now thyself with Me, and be at peace.
Listen to the Lord’s touching lamentation over Jerusalem. “If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes”, Luke 19: 42.
“Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace, thereby good shall come unto thee.”
