h, I have been praying that, while this morning I am trying
to set forth Christ as the end of the law, God may bless it to some hearts, that
they may see what Christ did, and may perceive it to be a great deal better than
anything they can do; may see what Christ finished, and may become weary of what
they themselves have laboured at so long, and have not even well commenced at this
day. Perhaps it may please the Lord to enchant them with the perfection of the salvation
that is in Christ Jesus. As Bunyan would say, "It may, perhaps, set their mouths
a watering after it," and when a sacred appetite begins it will not be long
before the feast is enjoyed. It may be that when they see the raiment of wrought
gold, which Jesus so freely bestows on naked souls, they will throw away their own
filthy rags which now they hug so closely.
-from Christ the End of the Law

the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." –Romans 10:4.
