Lord Of Righteousness

In the midst of all the confusions of our day, it is important that we find out that Jesus Christ is the Lord of all righteousness and the Lord of all wisdom. Righteousness is not a word easily acceptable to lost men and women in a lost world. Outside of the Word of God, there is no book or treatise that can give us a satisfying answer about righteousness, because the only One who is Lord of all righteousness is our Lord Jesus Christ, Himself. A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of His Kingdom. He is the only One in all the universe who perfectly loved righteousness and hated iniquity. Our great High Priest and Mediator is the righteous and holy Oneā€”Jesus Christ, our risen Lord. He is not only righteous, He is the Lord of all righteousness! Then there is His wisdom. The sum total of the deep and eternal wisdom of the ages lies in Jesus Christ as a treasure hidden away. All the deep purposes of God reside in Him because His perfect wisdom enables Him to plan far ahead! Thus history itself becomes the slow development of His purposes.

Verse

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom and righteousness. 1 Corinthians 1:30

Thought

Christ is the only One in all of the universe who perfectly loved righteousness and hated iniquity.

Prayer

Lord, thank You for the reminder that You are the author of righteousness and wisdom. Help me to remember to always depend on You as the only source of those resources.
