The Comforts of Christ's Imputed Righteousness

Comfort comes in a variety of ways in our lives. Family is a great comfort. Friends bring comfort and joy. We are happy when we have a comfortable living, and what gladness we have when we can be comfortable in all the circumstances of life. Of course when all these temporal comforts are shaken, that which cannot be shaken remains. This is why we must find our comfort not in the fleeting, but those things that never pass away. What is the answer? As Joseph in Egypt, we must open up the storage and feed ourselves and all the earth. We cannot say “be ye warmed and filled” and go on our merry way. You and I must do the hard work of meditation on the Person and Work of Jesus Christ. May Christ draw you to Himself and clothe you with that robe of righteousness. Imbibe all the comforts He has prepared for you and feast on the morsels of His Person. “Taste and see that the Lord is good,” and you will hunger no more for this world!
