Truly our God is a great God, and His Plan is a great Plan! We do not need to
feel afraid that God’s Plan is not good. It is good and just and wise, and He is
able to finish it well. We rejoice that God is a just God, and that in His wisdom
and love He has arranged that the millions who have died are not to be ever-
lastingly tormented in flames, as so many suppose. Few appreciate that God’s
mercy endureth forever, and that He is “mighty to save” all who come unto
Him in His appointed way- through Christ, who declared “I am the way.”
Thousands have been driven to insanity by thinking of eternal torment, not
only for the heathen, but for their unconverted friends; and yet there is not a
word in the Scriptures to that effect. The Word of God, when it is properly
understood, is all that is lovely, beautiful, grand and harmoaious, and it speaks
in no uncertain tones, as we have seen tonight, concerning “the Restitution of
all things.” We have God’s own Word for it; and hence IT MUST BE TRUE.
In our next discourse we will consider how the curse of God upon all can
justly give place to a blessing upon all-by what arrangement it is that God can
be “just and [yet be] the Justifier of him that believeth in Jesus.” We will see
how Love and Justice harmonize in the Divine dealings with mankind.
“Deep m unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,
He treasures up His bright designs,
And worh His sovereign will. “
