November 13 Evening: "The Just One" - Acts 7:52

"HE SHALL BE CALLED THE SON OF THE HIGHEST." These are the titles of Jesus. He was holy in His nature and perfectly righteous in His conduct. He rendered to all their due: as a Son, He honoured His Father by filial obedience to His will; as a Servant, He did those things which pleased the Lord; as the Substitute of His people, He did for them what was demanded of them, and suffered in their stead what they deserved. He magnified the law and made it honorable. He bore our sins in His own body on the tree. By one offering He perfected for ever them that are sanctified. He is still the Just One, just to every name He wears, to every office He fills. One day He will justly punish His foes, and with divine justice save all who believe on His name. His word He will never falsify, His character shall never be sullied. He will not cast out one returning sinner; He will not turn a deaf ear to one who calls upon His name. He will not deny salvation to any penitent soul who seeks it at His feet. He will justly reward His servants, not overlooking even a cup of cold water given in His name. He will appear "the Just One" in the doom of the wicked, and in the everlasting happiness of His saints.

For Meditation:
O thou gracious, wise and just,
In Thy hands my soul I trust;
Make me holy, be my Guide,
And for all my wants provide.
